I found the pictures in this article to be confusing - are they showing two shots of the same place or two shots of contiguous areas?

It appears they used original historic images from 1930, and overlayed them with a recent picture taken from (roughly) the same position and with the same angle as the original one. So it’s basically like a leap in time of the very same perspective, 100 years apart.
