Photos of downtown Chattanooga in early 1962 show a vibrant business district from the perspective of two busy intersections on Market Street.
The images are from photographic slides shared with the ChattanoogaHistory.com website by local attorney Hugh J. Moore Jr., of the Chambliss, Bahner & Stophel law firm.
“Both photos were taken by me, downtown, to document a snowfall,” Moore said in an email exchange.
Moore said he was 17 years old and a senior at McCallie School when he took the photos.
While the slides were developed in April 1962, the date of the snowfall is not known. Moore estimates it might have been in March of that year.
