Dig Memphis Mystery: Three People and a Model T


Dig Memphis Mystery: Three People and a Model T

Today’s #MysteryMonday photos continue our Fall series highlighting newly digitized materials – this time with a focus on streetscapes! We have two photos that were donated separately and with little information attached to them. Take a close look at each of them and use the clues you see to help us uncover more information about these Memphis locations. We’ll be adding more “streetscapes” mysteries to our Memphis Streetscapes Collection. You can find a link to all “Unmapped Images” on the collection’s homepage!

Mystery Two

“Memphians and an Early Automobile]” Memphis Streetscapes Collection. Digital ID BCC1654.

This photo of an unidentified group people and a Model T on a Memphis street was included with a few other photos, including pictures of passengers aboard the old James Lee Riverboat. Those photos were from the late 1910s, and perhaps this image is from around the same time period. Do you recognize any of these faces? What about the street behind them? Where was this car parked? And can you help us determine when the photo was taken?
