Found on EBay – Belasco Theater

  Main and 4th St.  

Here’s an interesting postcard of Main and 4th streets that was mailed in 1908. Notice that it shows the Belasco Theater, which eventually became the Follies Burlesque. The postcard is listed on EBay for $5.

On the jump, a 1929 article about the changing landscape of Main Street by Ben S. Lemmon, a writer I have never encountered before, and worth reading.

 

  March 18, 1929, 3rd and Main
