Panoramas Of Twin Falls And Hailey, Idaho From 1913

According to Wikipedia, in 1913, there were approximately 6,000 people that lived in Twin Falls. Think about that. In 2016, we have that many people trying to turn left onto Blue Lakes at 5 pm. Yes, Twin Falls was a very different place back then. Duh. There are two panoramas that have just been discovered of Twin Falls and one from Hailey, Idaho that show just how far we've come.

The first panorama is from an unknown location, but the turn-of-the-century architecture is in full effect. Click the image to check it out full size on Imgur.

The second is from a completely different location more toward the center of Twin Falls.

We know more about the panorama from Hailey, Idaho as it indicates it was taken on July 4, 1913 from Carbonate Hill. Trust me, you'll want to click the image to see it at full resolution.

Wonder what phone camera they used back in 1913 to grab these sweet pics? Funny. It would take 2 more years before the first coast-to-coast phone call was even made.
