Elgin, Illinois: June, 1941John Vachon of St. Paul, Minnesota, took photographs for the Farm Security Administration during the Depression and World War II. This image represents many early 20th-century neighborhoods built in the Midwest, along streets graced with American elms.
The picture is from an online site, Language of the Land, sponsored by the Library of Congress.
Just thought it might remind us a little of where and when we grew up.
PS: If you live in Springfield and enjoy history, please see the Iles House blog. The house needs to recruit 8 volunteer docents to help lead tours.
