Title A name given to the resource Travels with Balfour Pink Description An account of the resource A few years ago, Rowan Public Library was given a collection of glass slides from a local family. These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative. Many of the glass slides offer a glimpse of American street scenes in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century.

Title A name given to the resource Kirchin006 Description An account of the resource Large paving stones are being set on Poydras Street in New Orleans, Louisiana. Poydras Street is the central corridor of the New Orleans business district. Familiar landmarks such as the Superdome and the French Quarter are just minutes away. The 1920 New Orleans city directory helps us place this image in the 800 block of Poydras. The largest sign in the slide is for Books. Gustave A. Reuter is listed in the city directory as a bookseller at 823 Poydras. Perhaps the Reuters lived above the shop, because (Gus' sister) a Miss Mathilda Reuter's residence is listed as 823 Poydras as well. Otto A. Levy's Dry Goods store was located at 825 Poydras. Could the dapper gentleman out front be Otto himself? Can you make out the barber poles? They could be marking the location where Andrew Darrigo works (821 Poydras). According to the 1920 Federal Census, Andrew (a barber by trade) was born in Italy in 1873 and immigrated to the U.S. in 1893. <h3>Google Street View of the same location. </h3> <iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=824+poydras+street+new+orleans&aq=&sll=29.950059,-90.072404&sspn=0.00171,0.004737&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=824+Poydras+St,+New+Orleans,+Louisiana+70112&ll=29.949727,-90.072582&spn=0.001785,0.002368&t=m&z=14&layer=c&cbll=29.949957,-90.072681&panoid=EG1SqR7zDjc7VigkmrQNkw&cbp=12,112.99,,0,15.59&output=svembed" frameborder="0" width="425" height="350"></iframe> <a style="color:#0000ff;text-align:left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=embed&hl=en&geocode=&q=824+poydras+street+new+orleans&aq=&sll=29.950059,-90.072404&sspn=0.00171,0.004737&gl=us&ie=UTF8&hq=&hnear=824+Poydras+St,+New+Orleans,+Louisiana+70112&ll=29.949727,-90.072582&spn=0.001785,0.002368&t=m&z=14&layer=c&cbll=29.949957,-90.072681&panoid=EG1SqR7zDjc7VigkmrQNkw&cbp=12,112.99,,0,15.59">View Larger Map</a> The only building recognizable in the current view is the Drury Inn & Suites on the right at 820 Poydras.

Many famous ships were built and launched from these docks, including the USS Maine and the USS Arizona. At the time this image was taken, future U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt was serving as Assistant Secretary of the Navy. Click <a href="http://blogs.archives.gov/online-public-access/?p=7527"> here</a> to read an interesting article about digitization and how FDR was discovered in an old photo taken at the Brooklyn Naval Yard. The Naval Yard was officially closed in 1966. Today, the area is being redeveloped. In the background of the image, boats can be seen and a sign on a factory building that reads "Scranton & Lehigh Coal Co." While the precise location of the view has not been determined, a Google map showing the Naval Yard area is below. <iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=brooklyn+navy+yard&fb=1&gl=us&hq=brooklyn+naval+yard&cid=11076363903205392390&ll=40.700292,-73.972106&spn=0.006295,0.006295&t=m&output=embed" frameborder="0" width="425" height="350"></iframe> <a style="color:#0000ff;text-align:left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?ie=UTF8&q=brooklyn+navy+yard&fb=1&gl=us&hq=brooklyn+naval+yard&cid=11076363903205392390&ll=40.700292,-73.972106&spn=0.006295,0.006295&t=m&source=embed">View Larger Map</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1910-1930 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cathy Kirchin Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource The materials in this collection are made available courtesy of Rowan Public Library for use in research and private study.

These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative.

Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family.

Title A name given to the resource Kirchin032 Description An account of the resource This slide is labeled "halfway off" meaning the pavement has been partially removed in order to repave. Streetcar tracks are clearly visible. There are several businesses in view. One in particular is the Geo. W. Kirwan & Co. According to a 1914 city directory, the Kirwan business (a men's clothing shop) was located at 13 N. Charles Street, Baltimore, Maryland. The "moving sign" for the business next door (to 319 N. Charles Street) also helps determine the image is of Baltimore. Several things to notice in this image. On the left, there appears to be a police officer/crossing guard holding a sign and helping someone (in a white outfit) with a package cross the street. There are several automobiles in view and a street car making its way up the street.

However, this photo was taken on September 17, 1917. The street has now been nicely paved. A clearer shot of the building in the right foreground lets us know that it is the location of the George W. Macauley Company. According to a 1916 Boston city directory, that business manufactured posts, rails, and balusters. An ad in 1918 said the company manufactured "Builders' Finish and Fine Cabinet Work" and its office and salesroom was located at 385 Albany Street. On the left you can barely make out the '...Bogart & Son' sign.

Title A name given to the resource Travels with Balfour Pink Description An account of the resource A few years ago, Rowan Public Library was given a collection of glass slides from a local family. These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative. Many of the glass slides offer a glimpse of American street scenes in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century.

Title A name given to the resource Kirchin046 Description An account of the resource According to the label on the slide, this is a view of Gorham Street in Lowell, Massachusetts. The slide was taken to record that the street was paved 7 grade and laid in 1912. Sadly, most of the buildings that are in the view no longer exist. Those include the St. Peter's (Roman Catholic) Church (built 1900/demolished 1996) and the entire block of buildings on the right. The structures on the left have fared better. Those include St. John's Episcopal Church in the foreground and Middlesex County Courthouse in the background. A large advertisement on the side of a building to the right, which appears to be a pharmacy, promotes a 5 cent cure for fatigue - most assuredly Coca-Cola.

Title A name given to the resource Travels with Balfour Pink Description An account of the resource A few years ago, Rowan Public Library was given a collection of glass slides from a local family. These magic lantern slides documented various paving and curbing projects done throughout the United States in the early 1900s. Many skilled stone workers came to Rowan County from Great Britain in the early 20th Century to work in the granite industry including the Kirchin family. Both father and son worked as stone cutters for the Harris Granite Quarries Company, world-renown for Balfour Pink “The Granite Eternal.” This granite was used for many projects all over the United States and Europe, particularly as paving stones and memorials. As society moved from horse drawn carts and carriages to motorcars, a smooth and even surface was felt to be imperative. Many of the glass slides offer a glimpse of American street scenes in the first quarter of the Twentieth Century.

Title A name given to the resource Kirchin048 Description An account of the resource There is some faint writing on this slide that tells us this is a view of New York at Worth Street. The photo is not dated but is probably close to 1917. The street is very busy with horses and wagons, as well as a few automobiles and at least one bicyclist visible. The tall building in the center background is the Manhattan Municipal Building which was built in 1914 and is still standing. Several advertisements are visible. One for Charles Hobbs & Co., paper and twine manufacturers located at 36 Bleeker Street and one touting the New York Edison Company. A few interesting items to note: There is an Evening Sun newspaper cart on the very left foreground of the photo. The sign on the side indicates news in or about Marlin, Savannah, and Daytona. There are also subway entrances on both sides of the street. Unfortunately, this whole area was changed drastically during the years of urban renewal. <h3>Google Street View of the same location. </h3> <iframe src="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=Worth+Street,+New+York,+NY&daddr=manhattan+municipal+building&hl=en&geocode=FZ5GbQIdxcqW-ymj21cAIVrCiTFWQqqzu2yU9w%3BFX46bQIdusqW-yGoX7NBtFZQtinrt3YyIlrCiTGoX7NBtFZQtg&aq=0&oq=worth+stree&sll=40.718835,-74.007136&sspn=0.006351,0.009602&gl=us&mra=ls&ie=UTF8&ll=40.714541,-74.003527&spn=0.002786,0.001019&t=m&layer=c&cbll=40.714504,-74.003291&panoid=V5SWa_K7FWLfy5ACrquxcg&cbp=12,182.6,,0,-4.83&output=svembed" frameborder="0" width="425" height="350"></iframe> <a style="color:#0000ff;text-align:left;" href="https://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&source=embed&saddr=Worth+Street,+New+York,+NY&daddr=manhattan+municipal+building&hl=en&geocode=FZ5GbQIdxcqW-ymj21cAIVrCiTFWQqqzu2yU9w%3BFX46bQIdusqW-yGoX7NBtFZQtinrt3YyIlrCiTGoX7NBtFZQtg&aq=0&oq=worth+stree&sll=40.718835,-74.007136&sspn=0.006351,0.009602&gl=us&mra=ls&ie=UTF8&ll=40.714541,-74.003527&spn=0.002786,0.001019&t=m&layer=c&cbll=40.714504,-74.003291&panoid=V5SWa_K7FWLfy5ACrquxcg&cbp=12,182.6,,0,-4.83">View Larger Map</a> Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1910-1930 Contributor An entity responsible for making contributions to the resource Cathy Kirchin Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource The materials in this collection are made available courtesy of Rowan Public Library for use in research and private study.
