Wilmington, Delaware Yesterday

A Personal Photo Gallery of Wilmington
In June, 2007, I acquired a collection of almost 200 35mm color slide photos taken by my uncle, George Latimer Rogerson, Jr. (1917-1992).  He was interested in the Wilmington area history by taking "Before & After" photographs.  I am presenting a few of his "Before" photos here in low, noise-induced resolution.
