 Photo of the Month

February 2002

Object ID:  1968.027.0030

Photographer:  Jesse Sumner Wooley

Date:  February 14, 1914

On Valentine's Day of 1914 a blizzard inundated Ballston Spa.  This image shows the Lincoln Building, located on the NE corner of Malta Avenue and Milton Avenue.  Attached to the front of the Trolley is a snow plow.  At that time, streets were cleared by the trolley cars, leaving huge piles of snow along the curb.  The storm appears to have dropped over two feet of snow.
