1929: THE HAMILTON MUNICIPAL BUILDING

Here's on FABULOUS photo from my "Hamiltonia" collection, showing crowd that attended the celebration of the dedication of the Hamilton Township Municipal building at 2090 Greenwood Avenue.What fun I had with this photo! Thanks to the countless tweaks one can perform with "Photo Shop" CS2, I was able to convert this photo from grayscale to sepia. I also enhanced it to give an ever fascination look at the open area to the right of the building which at the time was a vacant, open lot, as was the area on the other side of the building (not seen in the photo). Also not seen in the photo foreground are the fire trucks from all the township fire stations which were lined all along  Greenwood Avenue. Trolley service was suspended during the dedication ceremony.
