High Point Postcards : Downtown, 1900 -1950
Caption:
Intersection of South Main Street and East Commerce Avenue.

The 20th Century dawned brightly for High Point. The city's population was expanding. Its textile and furniture industries were booming. Advances in transportation had conquered distance. As more citizens moved away from the city's center and into new residential neighborhoods, downtown High Point was gradually transformed into a showplace for magnificent new works of architecture, in which the city's prosperity was on display.
