Lake Tahoe Then and Now 1870-2015

I recently came across a book published in the early 90's containing old pics of Lake Tahoe communities that were taken between about 1860 to 1990. I came up with the idea of taking pictures myself of the same scene using the same vantage point to see what it looks like today, and assemble the results in a multimedia format in the form of a video slideshow.

To find the original spot where a historic photo was taken, I examined the mountains and horizon in the background, the topography, and architectural landmarks. As a frequent visitor to Lake Tahoe, most scenes were obvious, some required research using Google satellite images and Google maps (Incline Village and Truckee lumber yard), and two were impossible to duplicate (the photographer of the 1920's Pioneer Monument stood in a spot that is now several feet under the I-80 freeway, and Glenbrook is a private gated community so I grabbed pictures from a Web search).
