Rephotographing Lexington's Streetscapes - Rephotographing Lexington's StreetscapesView Google Map
A collaborative final project for GEO 172, Introduction to Human Geography, Fall 2012, BCTCS
The class was tasked with rephotographing the streetscapes of downtown Lexington captured by Asa Coleman Chin in 1920-1921. Sanborn maps of the areas Chin photographed are provided as a reference.
Students then researched Lexington newspapers for information about city life during the period 1907-1921. Historic themes of urban improvement, segregation, and riots emerge. Students' photographs & research show monumental change in areas of civic life, but often little change in many areas of the city's built environment.
