The way Hoboken was…
Back in September, former resident Al Ferriulo provided some awesome exclusive old photographs of Hoboken “back in the day.” He’s back today with two more interesting shots!
Thanks again, Al!
Firehouse still there!
“Here’s a shot of firemen posing in front of the downtown firehouse. You can see the old trolleys in the background. Not certain of the exact age, but believe it’s circa 1920’s.”
Over 100 years ago!
“This was taken in the 1890’s – in the area where the bus depot is, looking out in a northwesterly direction.”

Are the names available for the firemen? My grandfather was a fireman back then and there are very pics of him around.

Amazing pictures! It’s so great to see old or rare photos. We’ve probably crossed a time period where such a thing may no longer exist. Anything after the year 2000 or so will probably be photographed, videotaped, digitized, copied, stored, archived thousands and thousands of times. So people in the year 3009 will be able to see pictures or videos from 2009 just as easily as we do if not much easier. But for us, to see something that is just 50 years old, let alone 100 years old, is still a bit of a treat. Thank you Mr. Ferriulo for this treat.
Or perhaps by 3009, technology will advance so much, that digital photos and hi-def videos will be as old and rare to them as century-old black and white photos are for us.

I’m glad you guys liked the photos. In response to some comments; I don’t have any of the names of the firemen in the photo; I received a copy of that shot from a fireman and I am not aware of whether or not it is in the Hoboken museum. The other photo is looking at River street. I got that photo in a private sale.

What I started one winter, it took a lot longer, was to attempt to put all of the family pictures, from sister and other relatives,on to discs. It wasn’t hard but it took a lot of time but well worth it. In my family there are always someone who was the “keeper of photos” and when he or she passed it seemed liked no one knew where they went, no more. I made a copy for each of my kids and my sisters kids so no more searching. I advise everybody to do something like this. Another thing which is a quick project was to made a disc for your grandkids all of the places you went to school,lived,churchs you went to, hospital where you were born & etc. It is simple and it is something they will relish when they get older. These projects are not hard with all of the programs and equip. on the market now.
