Postcard Shows Main Street Looking North Toward Rail Road Station

On Monday we asked you to guess where this historical photo was taken and when. The answer is Main Street in Port Jefferson Station looking north toward the Port Jefferson Railroad Station and Echo, now Port Jefferson village. The photo for a postcard was taken in the early 20th century. The photographer is unknown.

You can see the photo in the historical archive on the Port Jefferson village website. It comes from the Kenneth Brady Collection.

If you are cleaning out the "junk" you've accumulated over the years and come across old photos, postcards, documents, brochures, letters, calendars or anything having to do with Terryville, Port Jefferson Station or Echo, consider donating them to the Cumsewogue Historical Society.

They are always looking for advertising items from local businesses whether they are long gone or still open. If you don't wish to part with your old photos, please consider allowing them to scan them for the archive. They will then be returned to you.
