From a card postmarked in 1906, looking east on Stephenson Street. At left is the City Hall, on the right is the old YMCA. A block down on the left is the tall Civil War Memorial.

This card, also postmarked 1906, shows Stephenson Street from another block plus west, also looking east. On the left is Grace Episcopal Church. Here, the artist seems to have painted over the trolley tracks.

This 1906 card shows the original Lincoln-Douglas debate site. Now a park, when I was growing up in Freeport the site was a parking lot. In this photo, residences were built on the original debate site.

The Stephenson County Court House in an unusual view. Most cards show the Court House as viewed from the southwest and feature the Soldiers' Monument. This view is from the northeast, showing N. Van Buren Avenue on the left and W. Exchange Street on the right.

The First ME Church in 1906.

The Carnegie Public Library in Freeport as shown on a 1906 card.
