Product Description

Jersey City in Vintage Postcards features selected postcard images, some actual photographs, that depict Jersey City’s early-twentieth-century rise as one of the Northeast’s great urban areas. Many of the views seen here remained intact into the 1940s and 1950s. More than two hundred thirty postcards and photographs, organized geographically, also suggest an evolving Jersey City, while well researched captions describe the changing cityscape. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars What once was..., May 1, 2006

By	Ian Belcher "ipcostello" (Vacaville, California United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent vintage photos. See how nice Jersey City used to be before all of the buildings with historical value were torn down and replaced with cheaply made houses and apartment buildings.
