Wilmington,
Delaware Yesterday
A Personal Photo Gallery of Wilmington
In June, 2007, I acquired a collection of 35mm slide photos taken by my uncle, George Latimer Rogerson, Jr. (1917-1992). He was interested in the Wilmington area and the taking of "Before & After" photographs. I am presenting some of his "Before" here in low resolution.
