United States, Georgia, Hall County, Gainesville, 34.29788, -83.824071906Gainesville, 1906. Looking north along Washington Street. The structure in the left foreground is the porch of the Hudson House whose name was changed in 1912 to the Hotel Princeton. In 1959 it was torn down and since 1960 the F. W. Woolworth Co. has occupied the site. Note the streetcar. Streetcars pulled by horses first made their appearance in Gainesville in 1874. Dr. Robert E. Green was the proprietor of this enterprise. The tracks ran from the Southern Railway depot on Main Street to the public square. The first electric cars were seen in 1903. Over the years the lines were expanded. In 1928 some of the tracks in the business district were taken up. During World War II the rest of them were removed so that the materials could be used in the war effort.image/jpeghttp://rightsstatements.org/vocab/NoC-CR/1.0/Cable cars (Streetcars)--Georgia--GainesvilleHotels--Georgia--GainesvilleArchitecture--Georgia--GainesvilleBusiness--Georgia--GainesvilleCities and towns--Georgia--GainesvilleTransportation--Georgia--GainesvilleWashington Street, North, Gainesville, Ga.StillImage
