Just love seeing these old pictures. I have a collection of black & white photographs my father had made from glass plates of the Great Paterson, NJ fire from the beginning of the 20th century. I wrote twice to the historical society about donating the pictures to them. Never got an answer back. Shame no one cares about history anymore.
