Then and Now: Comparing Our Rural Character


1940

2010
These two photos are meant to be an intrepretive study of our rural character at one coastal location (Miller Point, Medomak) over the past 70 years.  In 2008 two older cottages were demolished to make way for a new seasonal dwelling.  Also,because of additional trees at the left of the 2010 vantage point one cannot see the seasonal dwelling unit built around the turn of the century (2000 that is).
Also in 2010 a stone seawall to prevent further shoreline erosion was laid in place.

Note how the island forest canopy has matured and obscured most dwellings from sight.

With your critical eye you be the judge as to whether the rural character of Bremen has been maintained at this location over the past 70 years.

Please submit your own yesteryear photos of in and around Bremen and we'll take a closer look with comparative photos from today.
