Main Street, Tijuana, Mexico, Looking North, 1913: A Glimpse into the Past This evocative photograph captures the bustling scene of Main Street in Tijuana, Mexico, as it appeared in 1913. The image transports us back in time, offering a fascinating glimpse into the vibrant and dynamic character of this border town during the early 1910s. The street is lined with a diverse array of stores, each displaying an intriguing assortment of goods. A large, ornate curio shop, identified by the sign "Maxicano," catches the eye, promising travelers and locals alike an enticing selection of souvenirs and curiosities. Nearby, a hotel, identified as "Hotel de Paris," beckons weary travelers with its promise of rest and relaxation. The street is also home to more practical establishments, such as the post office, identified by the sign "Correo," and the customs house, marked with the word "Aduana" and the image of a customs house. The presence of these buildings underscores the importance of Tijuana as a border town and a hub of trade between Mexico and the United States. The photograph also reveals the emergence of the automobile in this era, with several cars visible on the street. The image offers a striking contrast between the traditional and the modern, as horse-drawn carts share the road with automobiles. This photograph, from the Mary Evans Picture Library, provides a captivating snapshot of life in Tijuana during the early 1910s, a time of change and transformation in this dynamic border town.
