Schenectady, 1906

Again, unfortunately, the scan of Robson & Adee’s 1906 map of Schenectady and environs loses some of the image in the fold, but still here is a nice view of the city that lit and hauled the world. The streets are largely unchanged. The General Electric Works, while greatly reduced, still sits on the same plot of land. The American Locomotive Works is long gone but many of the buildings remain. Van Slyck Island is an island no more, the Binnekill having been filled in behind what is now Schenectady County Community College.
