I was looking at the Denver Public Library's historic images database online--specifically, for pictures of one of my favorite Denver neighborhoods: the Highlands. I found the black and white photo of the intersection of 32nd and Zuni, taken between 1900 and 1905: "View of Denver Tramway Company trolleys, Berkeley - Elitch number 56 and number 73, with passengers and conductors, in Denver, Colorado. Advertisement on the cattle catcher reads: 'Broadway The Eternal City, Hall Caine's Greatest Play, Jane Kennark, All Star Cast.'"The photo below is 32nd and Zuni today (Google street view)--sans trolley lines (although, they are probably still there, underneath the asphalt), but the building on the corner is the same one.

What fun! It's a shame those big trees on the side of the road in the first picture didn't appear to survive the paving of the street and/or creation of the sidewalk.
