[DownTheField]

[YankeeVol]

Pretty cool

Great Find! I love old photos and video documenting the past. Plus, it's awesome that Shields-Watkins field just so happens to be in the footage!

 

[VOLnMiami]

Wow amazing footage!...Such a nice clean copy too.

That was awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Great footage thanks for posting!! I tell ya, folks dressed sharp back then. Some may have been poor or rich but at least they looked like somebody when they went about town. Unlike slobs people have turned into today.

Absolutely ALLSOME thanks for posting. You are officially my idol. Dude at the 1:48 mark was in full Jesco mode. Seriously great find

What did I just watch?

Lol

 

[livefaith]

Loved that! Cars look more like 30s or late late 20s. Dude, these folks dress to the nines. With a cam like this they were most likely well-to-do. Different world today. Wow thanks.

Thanks for sharing. Very cool, I had the kids sit down and watch it also. These must have been very wealthy folks, the picture quality had to be a very expensive camera for that time and all dressed very nice.

 

[Thrasher865]

That was pretty cool.

Ayres Hall hasn't changed much. S-W Field, on the other hand... wow.

That looked suspiciously like a Power T in the stands. I didn't know we used the Power T back then.

I wish they could have filmed Estabrook Hall. I bet it was already falling apart.

Great post! Ayers completed in 1921:thumbsup:

Ayres Hall was and still is stunning.
