A journey in space and time over the history of
Haifa from the end of the 19th century until the
middle of the 20th century It is difficult to
travel along the axes of space and time in an
orderly manner. This presentation travels along
the three spatial axes. The result is a sporadic
movement in time.

The photos presented here were collected from a
number of sources. They are dated here only if
the year in which they were taken is given in the
origin. The presentation moves from east to west
up to the summit of Stella Maris, with a detour
to Hadar Hacarmal. A considerable number of
photos of Hamra square can be found in the
sources. The reason is probably that this square
was the central plaza of old Haifa and its main
transportation hub. From here horse drawn
carriages could be taken to all the edges of the
big city. There was no pollution in those happy
days. The carriages did not exhaust smoke and the
horses were usually well behaved and made efforts
not to emit any gases. Dan Adler Haifa,
2008 adan777_at_gmail.com Few of the photos given
here were possibly published also elsewhere. They
are repeated here for the sake of completeness, I
apologize. Unfortunately the quality of some
photos was such they could not be upgraded by
Photoshop. They were taken before the age of
digital photography.

Haifa is concluded. The rest of the story is well
known. Haifa turned from a sleepy township into a
big village, which is good. It left the crowding
and the noise to Tel Aviv, the sanctity to
Jerusalem. A pity that to day the traffic is not
any more by black carriages, pulled by good
mannered horses.. ???? ?? ????? ?????? ???
