Really enjoyed the “then and now” pictures, especially the “then” views

Slides 15, 16 & 17 do not seem to show outside buildings at all - two of those slides are interiors of Timberlake Drug Store, so it is difficult to follow the comments about which bank is the correct label.

Thanks for this great slideshow. I’m at work now on a book with dozens of Then and Now images (Holsinger and others) from throughout Charlottesville, The Corner, and UVA. One thing however, I believe you have the wrong “Now” photo. Slide 16 (looking west) is the Wachovia Bank, formerly Jefferson National, built as the National Bank Bldg. in 1920—which replaced the 1895 Rossser Bldg (once home to the Cville Post Office), and before that the site of the Scott family home, celebrated local musicians who played Monticello parties for Mr. Jefferson. Slide 15 though (looking east, see the Hardware Store in the distance) is the 1916 construction of the People’s National Bank bldg at Third and Main, which opened in 1917. That building still stands today, though I can’t recall the current tenant.

Think you have the wrong bank on slides 16 and 17. Isn’t that Holsinger picture now B of A, looking east, uphill?
