Chestnut Street

My historic photo is of Chestnut street in Roanoke, Alabama. On the right side of the picture is where Bonner's Hotel used to be. The hotel was built in 1917. The hotel is where the Roanoke rotary club met when it was first created. After the hotel closed it was used as a boarding house. Then the building was demolished after it hadn’t been used for along time. Some of the similarities that are still there are the buildings, the light polls, etc. The Bonner’s Hotel isn’t there anymore, but the tilling from the floor is still there. The cars look different. As time has went on things have deteriorated and went away. Things have gotten older and changed. Back then I could see this street being very busy and crowded with the hotel being there and today it isn’t as busy. I think the buildings are going to change. The buildings might start to fall in overtime. I think there will always be something to remember the buildings being there.
