Leading the list of cultural institutions provided for Manchester citizens is the City Library, housed in the Carpenter Memorial Building facing Victory Park across Pine Street. This structure, completed in 1914, replaced the brick building on Franklin Street which had been erected in 1871. The latter was razed in 1929 to make place for the new Carpenter Memorial Parish House of the Franklin Street Congregational Church. Miss Caroline B. Clement has been librarian in charge for the past nine years.

Manchester's large and progressive Jewish community will have a modern home for its activities when conditions permit building the structure shown in this architect's drawing. It is to be located in the block bounded by Walnut and Beech, and Prospect and Harrison Streets, and will replace the present, out- grown home of Jewish groups at 275 Hanover Street.
The city's Jewish community first organized in 1889, when Congregation Adath Yeshurun was founded, fol- lowed the next year by chartering of the Community of Israel and a second religious group, Congregation Anshe Sephard. The Adath Yeshurun Synagogue was dedicated in August, 1911, and Anshe Sephard's in 1916. The former, at 293 Central Street, is served by Rabbi Abraham Heftermann, and the other, at 235 Central Street, by Rabbi Isaac Weisblatt.

The Manchester Print Works, or Manchester Mills, thus appeared from Granite Street about 1850, the approxi- mate date of the old woodcut repro- duced in this photograph, property of the Chamber of Commerce.
The quiet evoked by the artist in this 1856 woodcut was common not only to Franklin Street, but to much of Man- chester 90 years ago. Principal building in the picture is the Franklin Street Congregational Church, which then faced on that street.

A rather primitive print, from a woodcut over 100 years old, depicts the original Granite Bridge, a wooden structure on the approximate site of the present steel span. The artist here gave the river a non-existent bend, in order to bring the then new railroad into the foreground of his sketch.

Manchester does not claim the first automo- bile, but the first "horseless carriage" to run on rubber tires in New Hampshire was built here in 1896 by Peter Harris and his son Leander. It had a two- cylinder steam engine designed by the younger Harris, and the boiler burned soft coal and wood. An carlier and cruder auto, also steam driven, had been built here as early as 1868 by two employees of the Amoskeag Machine shop.
A frequent and inter- sting sight on city treets during reconver- ion days of the sum- ner of 1946 was this 907 Hupmobile, owned y John Connelly, hown left with Roger Chapdelaine.

Pre-war aerial photos of Elm Street in the heart of the business district, mark the change that had just taken place in the city's transportation system, the passing of the electric trolley cars and the substitution of bus service. Note that street car tracks were still in place. Other- wise, the area shows little change from the present. Even from the air, the Merchants National and Amoskeag Bank Buildings dominate the scene.

Right foreground is now occupied by the Rex Theater and the Union-Leader Publishing Company buildings. Across the common, is the Jolliet Club building, now the home of the Associa- tion Canado-Americaine. To the right of this latter, note old buildings that stood before the present home of the Young Women's Christian Association. Nor was the Victory monument to World War I dead yet erected in the easterly half of the park.
