Title: "A Glimpse into the Past: Main Street, Que Que, Southern Rhodesia (Now Kwekwe), 1920s" This evocative photograph captures the essence of Main Street in Que Que, Southern Rhodesia (now Kwekwe), during the 1920s. The image transports us back in time, offering a captivating glimpse into the history and character of this once bustling African town. The main street is lined with impressive buildings, their architectural styles reflecting the diverse influences of the colonial era. On the left, a grand hotel stands tall, its white facade adorned with intricate details and a chimney belching out smoke, signaling the presence of a bustling kitchen. The hotel, a beacon of comfort and luxury for travelers, adds an air of sophistication to the scene. The road is filled with the sounds of horse-drawn carts and automobiles, their engines purring as they make their way along the dusty path.
