For this week in exploring topics for my final project I chose to find photographs from decades (and in some cases of a century) ago, and then try recreating those images to show the locations in modern day. This is a photojournalist approach to seeing what time has and has not changed.
The following photos are of locations in Milton, Vermont, the town I have resided in for the past 15 years. In the weeks to come I may go outside of Milton, in which it will be noted accordingly.
Location #1. United Church, located on Main Street in 1905, and one-hundred and ten years later. Structure of the church has remained the same, despite the change on surrounding land.

Location #2. Milton Co-Operative Creamery, located on Railroad Street in 1919 and ninety-six years later. Product of the Milton Cooperative Dairy Corporation, the creamery was opened in 1919, and was closed in 1974. The creamery is significantly different from it's opening state, with additions to the building during the 1930s, as well as vandalism and Mother Nature after it's closure.

Location #3: Soldier's Monument, School Street outside of the Milton Historical Society, in 1909 and one-hundred and six years later. Paying tribute to those fallen during the Civil War, the monument originally stood at the intersection of Main Street and River Street before its relocation to School Street.
