Michael’s Church
1897
Ernest Peixotto captures a quiet street scene in 1897, where the towering steeple of a church dominates the skyline. Notice the interesting clash of eras: the classic colonial architecture stands tall while modern telephone poles crisscross the view, showing a city in transition. In the foreground, a lone soldier with a heavy pack walks past, adding a touch of everyday life to this serene sketch. It's a charming snapshot of a changing America at the turn of the century.
