Today's throwback Thursday photograph is a panorama of downtown Binghamton, New York, circa 1909. The photo was taken by the Haines Photo Co. of Conneaut, Ohio and looks east down Court Street. In the background, the 1904 Press Building dominates the skyline, and the Security Mutual Building and the dome of the Binghamton Court House are visible to its right. The bank of the Chenango River and the Court Street Bridge anchor the foreground of the photograph. The next time you pass through downtown Binghamton take note of how the area has changed in the last 100 years.
