Utica On The Utica And Mohawk Valley




Like the caption says, The Busy Corner. Utica at the turn of the century was an extremely busy place.  The 7th largest city in the State of New York had plenty of business and recreation to satisfy anyone.  Several railroads served town, plus the mighty Erie Canal.  Who could ask for more?

Entertainment was available in several theaters and opera houses.
