I tried to find the exact spot where photographer Percy Loomis Sperr stood 75 years ago when he took this photo of 353 Park Place at Underhill Avenue. On the right is my attempt to redo his photo. There have been some changes. Goodbye, stately mansion. Hello, institutional architecture. [Click here for the full photo comparison.]

Hey, you photoshopped my photoshop! Would be great if you did it to scale…
Do you think that the tree on the sidewalk is the same one, all grown up?
I Am Not A Dendrologist (IANAD), but that tree doesn’t look 75 years old.
