Picture of One of
Augustus Old Landmarks
Attracts Much Attention

did you forget? ?" is most fitting
inscription placed beneath picture
which occupies conspicuous place
in the window of the Z. z. Howard
Photographic studio. In spite OF the
fact that the photograph is one of
the old landmarks Of Augusta which
war taken down a few years ago.
many people passing by the window
have not recognized the building
which formerly set at the foot Of
Rines hill and was occupied by the
Swift Beef Co. for refrigerator
rooms.
The building was removed in 1914
to make room for the new Maine
Central railroad station. Just pre-
vious to its removal. Mr.. Howard
was requested by the firrn Of Derby,
Robinson & Shepard Of Boston, ar
ehitects, to take few pictures Of
the building from different angles,
and the picture in Mr.. Towards
window is one of those that he took
at that time. about Dec. q, 1913.
The picture shows very plainly
part of the big retaining wall which
had been built on the west side of
the tracks, and the short fence which
prevented the lower part of Court
street going across the railroad
tracks, from being used as a thor
oughfare for vehicles. The picture
was taken from the railroad bridge
on Rines hill, and in spite of the fact
that all those landmarks are so
clearly depicted. people passing by
the window who perhaps do not look
carefully at these points, otter call
in the store and ask Mr.. Howard
what it is a picture of. Old land
marks after they have been removed.
are forgotten by many people in a
short space of years, and this is the
reason of the inscription beneath the
picture.
