History Thru The Lens

Welcome to my blog site!

My interests in history and photography come together in this photoblog. Featured in this blog are historical pictures such as the above photo of the RMS Olympic and her sister ship the RMS Titanic, which would prove to be the last one of them together side by side. Hopefully all who visit will enjoy it and recommend the site to their friends.

NOTE:

Elftreth's Alley

Built in 1702, Philadelphia's Elfreth's Alley, pictured above, is America's oldest street. As the first capital of the United States, Philadelphia is the site of the most historic square mile in all America. Between 1713 and 1811, homes were built along the street, and remain privately owned and occupied today, with one of the structures housing the Elfreth's Alley Museum.
