Rumford Falls, Maine, USA: A Captivating Glimpse into the Past of an American Business Block (1908) Nestled in the picturesque town of Rumford Falls, Maine, this photograph offers a captivating glimpse into the past, showcasing a thriving business block that once housed The Everett K. Day Company and G. A. Peabody Company. This image, produced in Austria in 1908, presents a unique perspective of an American scene with an intriguing variation of the Star-Spangled Banner. The business block, a testament to the commercial growth of the early 1900s, stands proudly with its well-preserved facade. The Everett K. Day Company, a prominent name in the community, is depicted on the left side of the building, while the G. A. Peabody Company occupies the right. The architectural details, from the ornate cornices to the large display windows, exude an air of prosperity and progress. However, the most striking feature of this photograph is the unusual depiction of the American flag. The flagpole, adorned with the Stars and Stripes, presents a fascinating variation from the traditional design. The stars are arranged in a seemingly random pattern, while the stripes appear to be interspersed with intricate patterns. This unusual representation of the flag, though produced in Austria, adds an intriguing layer to the historical significance of this photograph. As we admire this image, we are transported back in time, allowing us to appreciate the rich history and vibrant commercial spirit of Rumford Falls, Maine, in the early 1900s.
