Colorized photo from 1903
Original Title: South end of Bowery
Location: Brooklyn, NY

This is the great steeplechase in the Summer of 1903. A fun, colorful place of interesting and unique rides, sticky candies, and all oddities. You could have your palm read, and even bathe publicly.

The Steeplechase ride consisted of a row of horses, set on tracks. And people would sit on these horses and race against other people some how. It was like riding a carousel horse on a roller coaster.

However no one foresaw that in just a few months time, this entire location would be burned to the ground. A fire started in a near by hotel, and due to the lack of water pressure and that the structures were all made of wood, the place was just ashes.

It was rebuilt however by 1907, even better than before, and I believe it too was burned down, the park has a history of many fires.

Today all that remains of this area is, well nothing at all. On the left...

My name is Mike Savad, I create one of a kind images. Photo realistic, is what people think of first. I specialize in job themes, such as Pharmacist, Doctor, Firemen, Lawyer, etc. Steampunk is another favorite. I'm certain you will find something that you will like. My art is inspired by Norman Rockwell and Paintings from the time of the Renaissance. Be sure to visit my Scene in Color section. I expertly restore and colorize black and white images. See the past come alive with color. Each image is painstakingly cleaned and repaired, colors are researched and shaded in. Images are designed to coordinate with the rest of my collection. The past was far more colorful than you would have imagined. Want something fun to do? Sometimes I hide...
