Montgomery s first neighborhoods were nestled close to downtown for convenient shopping and working. Images of America: Montgomery s Historic Neighborhoods documents the changes from inner city to suburban residences and from mass transportation to the automobile. Capitol Heights and Cloverdale incorporated as separate cities by 1908. The images show the evolution of photography from formal, professional portraits to fun, family snapshots capturing birthday parties, pageants, pets, and everyday life. Cloverdale Idlewild developed around the 1930s by which time the automobile and bus line had replaced the trolley. The first streetcar suburb, Highland Park, was developed the same year. In 1887, the electric trolley system made living beyond the city limits feasible. Although Centennial Hill, Cottage Hill, the Garden District, and the Old Line Street neighborhoods existed before the trolley, it spurred their growth. These compelling photographs also show how residents lived, worked, studied, worshipped, and played for over a century in Montgomery s historic neighborhoods."
