THE WAY IT WAS ...

 


 

     

THE WAY IT WAS:

   
 
     

Irish American Hall stood on French Street
between Seventh and Eighth
(The card 
is identified as: Published by McIntire and Company, Wilmington, Del. No. 1000. There is no copyright date, but it is believed to have been around 1900.)

That block does not exist today. In its place is the Wyndem Hotel
parking garage.

     
 
     

This is another in a series of 'then and now' views of Wilmington. It draws on the extensive collection of local picture post cards accumulated by Terry Craig, owner and president of Print Marketing Solutions Inc., on West Eighth Street. Current views of the same scenes are Delaforum digital photos. See previous views in this series.
