Left to right we have circa 1910, circa 1885, circa 1885, and circa 1885 (w/circa 1965 blank brick wall). Do you love history!

The difference between the circa-1910 bldg at the left and the circa-1885 bldgs next to it is approximately the difference between circa-2010 and circa-1985. Amazing!

 

I got stuck thinking about this for I-don't-know-how-long.
