Main Street, Saco ME B327

View of downtown Saco's broad Main Street, showing buildings from various 19th and early 20th century periods, and 1940s era automobiles. Modern retail enterprises and offices are housed in repurposed commercial structures from the past. The presence of the cars angle-parked in front of the myriad businesses, suggests post-War commercial vitality. One such business is the State Restaurant, its sign visible at the far right. In the distance, the tall smokestack of one of the huge textile mills on Factory Island in the Saco River punctuates the view.
