Roanoke,, 1923

[NW Mailing List]

Jimmy,

Would you contact me offline at Raymond.smoot at outlook.com regarding the picture you posted last week of Hotel Roanoke in 1923. The hotel, long an N&W property, wishes to obtain a copy for its photo archives.  Thank you.

   Ray Smoot.

Frank,
    Taking in consideration of the lay of the land, the closeness of the roundhouse and smoke stack, and, since one other photo shows the coal wharf, this has to be Shaffer's Crossing.

Good morning, Jimmy:

One picture shows a locomotive and passenger train with a large smoke-stack in the background. Any guesses where in Roanoke that picture may have been taken?

Thank you for posting these images. They are a nice small window into the past!
