This Mother’s Day I spent some time showing my Mom how cool Google Lens could be, and I quickly identified many pictures from my photo archive. Here are some of the pictures we identified. The first location is from the set of 1960s photo slides. All the other locations I believe to be taken in the 1920s!
Location 1: Former Best Western. Currently Holiday Hotel and Resort, Holiday, FL
Image 2: Best Western Postcard from eBay.
Image 2: Street View in Google.
Location 2: Union Station, Washington DC
Image 2: Google Street View, Aug 2022
Location 3: Memorial Amphitheater, Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington, VA
Image 2: Google Street View, October 2013
Location 4: Monomonock Inn, Caldwell, NJ
Image 2: Vintage Postcard
Location 5: President Grant Tomb – New York City, NY
Image 2: Library of Congress image from the Hudson River, 1909
Trying to get a Google Street View image of President Grant’s tomb felt pretty impossible. With all the foliage and having to stick to the road patterns, I wasn’t able to get a clear view.
I hope seeing these image comparisons is as fun for everyone else as it is for me. I really love to put some context behind these images. In case you’re wondering how I know exactly when Llewellyn visited some of these places. That would be the Diary of Llewellyn of course. 😂 November 3rd and 4th, 1923
