"dateSubmitted":"2015-11-21"so I asumed that was the year. But I'm not really sure.
Funny how in the first picture the building on the left felt the need to advertise they had an elevator
Good spot! Looks like the one in the middle did too
The building in the middle also advertises it.
Good catch!
In 1890 it must have been a big deal.
Nice to see the cars only lasted a while, and now busses have replaced the trams.
Been here irl and it's really really pretty, there's a bunch of high quality (and high price) shops nearby and the whole place is very open with no cars and this really made my trip!
