Atlantic Street - 1908 Looking north

Traffic was no problem on Atlantic Street back when this photograph was taken. The new building of the YMCA had just been completed after construction costs of $135,000 and the horse and trolley cars were still in their heyday. But gas buggies were gaining popularity. A city ordinance, one of the first in the country, limited autos to "12 miles an hour in Stamford and 15 outside."
