Using archive photos matched with the same viewpoint today, Memphis
Then and Now charts 150 years of Memphis history. Born as a planned
community that was partly owned by Andrew Jackson, Memphis grew on
a steady diet of cotton. The second largest cotton supplier in the
world, Memphis's location on the fourth bluff of the Chickasaw
River kept it free from flooding and helped the city develop its
lucrative trade. Using archive pictures from the 1870s though to
the 1960s paired with the equivalent view today, Memphis Then and
Now charts the history of the city and the profound effect of the
music business; from W. C. Handy and Beale Street, to Stax Records,
Sun Records and the home of the King, Graceland. It also includes
the railroad station from which Casey Jones departed on his final,
fatal run in 1900. Includes: Memphis Levee, Cossitt Library, US
Post Office, Beale Street, Handy Park, Warner Theatre, Columbian
Mutual, Orpheum Theatre, Hebe Fountain, Union Avenue, Magevney
House, Handwerker Gingerbread Playhouse, Shelby County Courthouse,
St. Peter's Catholic Church, Memphis Cotton Exchange, First
National Bank, Illinois Central Station, City Hall, Masonic Temple,
Peabody Hotel and the Tennessee Brewing Company.
