Superimposing the Past

Some dudes found old photos of Lewis Cass High School and superimposed them on top of photos of the building years after abandonment. The building has since been demolished.

I love this concept. I know I've seen this idea before, but this was done very well. If anyone has more examples of this idea, please share

Great find. It's amazing to think of what happened in the places we occupy.

Good stuff dude.

That's really cool. I've thought about putting something like that together with the old photos I've found in some places. It's a strange and cool experience to be standing in a place, looking at a photo of the exact same spot from decades earlier.

This is such a cool idea! It would be cool if it was possible to do this with every abandoned site.

Kudos for the find!

Kind of reminds me of http://www.historicmapworks.com/ You can overlay an old map of the area onto a google map of the area as it is now. If you are into history I recommend checking it out.
