Mr. Jim Wetzel is the curator of the Delta Museum….here is a cool photo of 1906 Delta

Main Street looking south in this 1906-1907 photo / post card. Note the flag pole in the center of the Third Street intersection. It was removed in 1908. There is also a single light bulb suspended from the flag pole. Concrete sidewalks also appear in this photo, but it would be another 15-16 years before the street, itself, is paved. The relative absence of people and transportation suggests an early hour for this photo.

Someone hand-colored it, lending a unique look to an old-time photo!
