Historical Ada

Here's another Ada "past and present" scene. Imagine you are standing on Main Street at the intersection near the First United Methodist Church facing south.

Our scenes are from today and, we're guessing circa 1910. We base this on the Model T Ford parked near the horse and buggy on the west side of the street and the manner in which women are dressed on the east side of the street.

The 2014 photo was taken by Bailey Bowers. She also combined the new photo with the old colorized post card.

Here is the Ada Church of Christ Disciples on South Main Street. The church is remarkably unchanged aside from some repairs and changes in materials on the façade.

There are also subtle changes in the surrounding area. In the old picture, you can see a street lamp hanging from a wire above the cobblestone street.
