Red Bank NJ, Upper Broad St Vintage Postcard

Red Bank, NJ, in 1910, along Upper Broad Street, would have been a lively, bustling small town with the charm of early 20th-century architecture and street life. The street would feature vintage storefronts with large display windows, awnings shading sidewalks, and intricate brick facades lining the thoroughfare. Horse-drawn carriages and early automobiles likely shared the cobbled or dirt roads, while pedestrians in period clothing—men in bowler hats and women in long skirts and elaborate hats—strolled along, peeking into shop windows. The atmosphere was likely vibrant, as Red Bank was a popular commerce hub, surrounded by the scenic beauty of the Navesink River and nearby countryside.
