Downtown Lexington, 1956
Posted on January 10, 2016 | in Uncategorized | by Lexington Herald-Leader
Aerial view of downtown Lexington in 1956. The photo’s purpose was to show the C&O Railroad tracks in downtown which the city was trying to have removed. The tracks run horizontally just below the middle of the photo. Vine St. is now located where the tracks are in the photo. The old Union Station, with the semi-circular drive, is near the center of the photo. Published in the Lexington Leader August 1, 1956. Herald-Leader Archive Photo
