Bayview Lineup 1929
Then....
Starting on the left, the Thompson cottage now sits with a side expansion which covers and includes the old two story garage which can be seen in the photo. The next lighter cottage burned down, and a garage now occupies that space. Joanne Kelly's cottage at the corner of Bayview and Pearl is next and just ahead of the large profile of the Oceanside apartment house further up on Pearl St. The Bombaci cottage, now modernized and with porch enclosed occupies the other side of the corner at Pearl, and the last major structure which can be seen is the Leavitt cottage which remains pretty much the same today.
Today....
This is a photo taken last week (4/17/2005) during a routine beach profiling exercise. It is shifted to the left, but all of the cottages in the 1929 photo can be seen with the exception of the Leavitt cottage on the far right... we will try to correct that shortly.
