Here are some more rare, historical photos to entertain you as you isolate yourself at home during this horrific pandemic. I hope they will provide a distraction for you so that you can get your mind off all the sad news. I found these photos fascinating and I hope you do too.
This is the second of four sets of rare historical photos on Number 16. I will be posting some more photos tomorrow.
