Boston 1903 in Color, by Streetcar [60fps, Remastered] w/sound design added

Рет қаралды 154,418

2 жыл бұрын

I colorized, restored and created a sound design for this video of 1903 shows the streets of Boston crowded with horse-drawn carriages. Ladies in long dresses and huge hats walk with dignity along the sidewalks as the camera pans to see the crowds of businessmen and shoppers milling about the streets. There are some familiar sites. A Jordan Marsh store makes an appearance, as does the Boston Public Library and Beacon Street.
Video Restoration Process:
✔ FPS boosted to 60 frames per second
✔ Image resolution boosted up to 4K
✔ Improved video sharpness and brightness
✔ Colorized only for the ambiance (not historically accurate)
✔added sound design only for the ambiance
✔restoration:(stabilisation,denoise,cleand,deblur)
Please, be aware that colorization colors are not real and fake, colorization was made only for the ambiance and do not represent real historical data.

Thanks for the sharing yourself. The traffic sounds would have included a lot of shouted signals to the horses ("Gee," "Haw," Gyup," "Ho," etc.), and shouted instructions from traffic cops. One of the reasons for the open front seat in town cars was so the driver could hear the signals and know what was going on.

It’s like the past ghosts of Boston. In a way, we are the ghosts and the city just goes through cycles with different generations. I’m from Philly and when looking at the William Penn tower, which is Philly’s landmark, I remember that as a kid growing up. That’s been there since the 1890’s and I’m sure the city hall tower will be there long after I’m gone. My uncle was very nostalgic growing up in Philly, as are many people in Boston. He’s no longer above ground. It seems like we are all just fading memories too. At least, with builders, they have something to take pride in. They helped produce an edifice that will stand the test of time.

Beautiful historic old Boston aka "Beantown", "The Hub" and "College town"! 1903, my beloved grandparents era, the Edwardian era. I was born in Boston in 1948, older siblings were born in Boston, too. Parents got married on Beacon Hill in 1939, all the bridesmaids wore turquoise, my beloved mom's favorite color! Older sister worked for Jordan Marsh in the early 1960s. I recognize those narrow winding streets that still exist today! One could get dizzy driving around 'the Hub" and accidently going up those one way streets the wrong way like my mom did once! lol Thanks for sharing along with all the city noise!

This would have been in the few years before my relatives started leaving Ireland for Boston. Evidently Boston was already crowded and congested by the look of this video. I see Jordan Marsh in the video. That store and Filene's use to be my Mother's and Grandmother's favorite store. I remember every year we would go to the Christmas Village, that was set up in Jordan Marsh. I haven't lived in the area for a number of years now, and a number of my relatives have all passed on. When I do get back though I always enjoy my visits.

Here's my best guess at what we're seeing here. I'm certainly open to corrections or additions! 0:12 Either Boylston or Tremont with brand new subway station entrance on upper left 0:54 There’s been some street repositioning, but basically Boylston intersecting with Washington. Existing Liberty Tree building clearly visible 2:18 Iconic old Jordan Marsh building torn down in 1970’s 3:07 Traveling NE on Washington, Old South Meeting House clock visible 3:26 Dude challenges someone to a fistfight because he was asked to please put a mask on. 3:41 Old South Meeting House, windows and surface seems to be caked in soot? This was the coal era. Was it still closed after its congregation fled to Back Bay? 4:46 Poking along SE on Summer St, South Station visible to right. In ten years it will (briefly) be the busiest train station in the world (38M/annum) followed by Boston’s North Station then Grand Central. 5:18 Taxi stand outside South Station! Did they call them taxis then? 6:10 Sudden appearance of people standing outside of a building wearing masks. TB hospital? 8:00 Boylston Șt westbound followed by Boston Public Library McKim building, only opened a few years prior

There’s something mesmerising about these films , like I’ve gone back in time like a sneaky time traveler to watch long dead people go about their lives

Traffic was just as bad then but it moved slower. The joke about Boston traffic says that the car with the most dents has the right of way.

It seems that this channel traveled in time to make its films
