The world's first photograph was taken in 1862, and, since then, the world has been fascinated by the ability to capture a moment in time.

The NOW has been sharing glimpses of the city's past and present through our series Then & NOW. Reporter Christina Myers has shared the stories of a local school's 90-year history, a pioneer couple celebrating their 60th anniversary and the long life of a city business that began in the earliest days of the city's settlement.

In today's edition, Myers shares a peek inside a First World War-era garage and a modern-day counterpart in business today.
