Then and now
Looking west down Main Street during the mid-1950s (left photo), downtown shops across from The Sylva Herald offices included Jackson Furniture, right, and Schulman’s Department Store. At that time there was still two-way traffic on the street; the current one-way traffic pattern did not begin until July 1956. The Jackson Furniture building later housed Livingston’s Photo for around three decades and is still part of Livingston Kelley’s photo and framing operation. Penumbra Gallery recently moved into the former Schulman’s location. Cars are facing the opposite way in the 2005 photo, which was taken Aug. 24. Rows of white pines, cut down around 1970, lined the Courthouse steps in the 1950s photo; the historic structure shows off its 2004-05 refurbishment and new paint in the recent photo. – Herald file photo (left) and Herald photo by Nick Breedlove |
