Days Gone By: Images of Pittsfield town planning from the archives of The Eagle | Story
We can barely appreciate the geometry of urban centers from our windows, or walking down the street. These maps of Pittsfield show the city from different angles, seen from the front and from above. The smooth lines of the architectural plans, the window grilles and the rows of parking lots soothe and simplify the hectic activities of daily life. Here is a stay that could revitalize the way we see and navigate the streets of our city.
