The 700 Block of Water Street over time.

As you know, I collect Kerrville and Kerr County photographs.  One of the things I like to do is look at images of the same area over time.  One of the intersections that has been very popular with photographers has been the intersection of Earl Garrett and Water Streets, facing northwest toward Sidney Baker Street. Today this intersection has a big star in the pavement, the Heritage Star.  Here are some images of that intersection over time.

That tree by the old Schreiner Bank just keeps growing.
