Woodfords Corner 1955 Aerial Photo

Check out Woodfords Corner in 1955 from the Portland Public Library Archives. There were three gas stations (former Rite Aid, Dunkin Donuts and Merlin Motors), a movie theater next to Valle’s Steak House (now Woodfords F&B), two railroad lines, diagonal parking along Forest Ave, billboards on the roofs, lots of open storefronts and it looks like no street lights.
