The Horse and the Motor

The Horse-City Street
The commissioned full-size street: teams, wagons, crossings swept for ladies' hems - the city that ran on hay and produced forty pounds of manure per horse per day.
The Stable Block
Thousands of horses stabled in lofts - the feed, the flies, and the fevers of the horse city.
1905: Mixed Traffic
Horse, streetcar, and the first motors sharing one roadway - a decade of dangerous negotiation.
The Filling Station
The motor's infrastructure arrives on the corner lot - and the stable becomes a garage.
The Reading Wall
The hall's informational panels in sequence - the argument of the gallery told in maps, figures, and captions. Read it like a chapter.
Viewpoints
Horse-and-motor views - the sanitary revolution told in street scenes.
