Then and Now: Pan American Exposition

[Jim]

A few months ago The News, Buffalo's metropolitan newspaper, provided a selection of "then and now" photographs of the Pan American Exposition

Many years ago, during the Centenary of the Pan, I toured the site. I clearly recall meeting a home owner on Elmwood Parkway directly across from the small memorial marking the site of The Temple of Music. He saw me take a few snapshots of the memoriaL plaque. Very friendly, he explained why that the memorial is misplaced and that the Temple of Music (where McKinley was shot) really should be placed on his property. He said that he has repeatedly measured distances using vintage maps.  ,
