1953 - Brownsville Compress and 421 neighborhood


 The following aerial photos were taken by Rogers Studio in 1953.  Most were scanned from 4x5 negative film with the exception of one which was scanned from a photograph.  The negatives were scanned in 2014.  A method had to be devised to digitally develop them by scanning them in sections and assembling the sections using a basic Photoshop Essentials program.  There may be some scan lines (note red arrows) but anyone can download these photos and produce a pretty clear 8x10 or 11x17 print from these.
