This lithographic postcard features a street scene in Port Jefferson, Long Island, New York. The postcard pictures Main Street in 1912. The road, sidewalk, stores and trees, has a resemblance to the way the street looks today. Port Jefferson is a village in the town of Brookhaven. Port Jefferson is on the north shore of Long Island and is the home of a commercial ferry line that shuttles back and forth to Bridgeport, Connecticut. The village was first settled in the 17th century and became an active shipbuilding center in the mid 9th century. Port Jefferson was beautiful than, and beautiful now. Note the postcard view of quaint shops, a horse led delivery wagon, and the sign on a sidewalk pole advertising a ice cream shop. This postcard was published by the G. W. Dare as part of a series (No.23). SOLD
