Last week I asked readers to identify the location of a photograph that appears to be taken by an aircraft.

Congrats Tom, you are correct.
The photo was taken of the Dobson Carpet Mill from an airplane on May 17, 1926. The buildings in the photo span 4041-4055 Ridge Ave.
Thanks for playing, and be sure to check back next week for another round of Then and Now.
