Realtor has photo tribute to the Cataract City

Mike Hooper has been selling real estate in Niagara Falls, New York for more than four decades. Over the years he has also been collecting pictures of the city and his offices have become a museum of sorts with photos covering almost every wall. He says "it's probably the largest private collection of photos iof Niagara Falls." Mike says that many of the photos have been donated by customers. For people that grew up in the Niagara Falls area, this collection provides a trip back in time. Mike says "unfortunately this is what we had in Niagara Falls-which has been torn down, it was supposed to be urban renewal, I didn't see much renewal." Mike's collection includes pictures of famous people that visited the area like Marilyn Monroe and John F. Kennedy. Mike Hooper Real Estate is located at  742 Main St, Niagara Falls, NY 14301
