Welcome
to the American Retrospective, a look back in time to the Twentieth
Century, and the many good things that characterized those amazing
years.
We focus on architecture, historic preservation, landscapes,
nostalgia, photography, postcards and related items that
tell the story of the
places, and
people, that so many of us remember well.
 In
particular, this Baton Rouge Retrospective will deal with
memories of the Louisiana Capitol City, from
the old 1940s motels along Airline Highway to the architecture
of LSU to the historic Mississippi River to the re-emerging downtown,
and lots of points in between!
We'll look at postcard views of public buildings, schools, hospitals, railroad stations, and hotels & motels. We'll explore LSU and its classic buildings, and take a look at early images of Huey Long's skyscraper Capitol building.
And we'll be including photographic memories as well, showing relics and landmarks of the past still existing in Baton Rouge in the late 20th Century.
 Like Sam's Meat Market on Government Street, across from Baton Rouge High School.
