Old Madison Photos
I am fascinated with photographic history, especially from the era of the 30’s to 50’s. Theaters, old buildings, architecture, cars, and life in general from this era is very fascinating to me – especially in b/w. Just about any old building in any city in America would be interesting, but here I focus on Madison, WI. Links to a few interesting images are given below.
