Bangor's Main Street, now known as Commercial Street, witnessed many historical changes over the last 150 years. The street scenes in this collection, drawn almost entirely from the early twentieth century, tells a story of vibrant businesses as well as living spaces. Technological change from horse and buggy to the automobile was also part of the street scene in Bangor. Fortunately for us, a number of the original buildings from the late ninetenth century still grace downtown Bangor on Commercial Street. They housed a great diversity of businesses over the years while continuing to be an important part of Bangor's economic life to this very day. Date exhibit created: August 27, 2012.
