Is it my imagination or do some of those buildings have no window glass? Storm damage?

No idea. Some clearly do. Some are maybe a trick of the light/camera? Or is some of that debris in the street storm damage?

Speculation like this is what makes these old photos so interesting.

Those signs look like some darkroom work; maybe to highlight them? Notice the high contrast B&W compared to the rest of the photo; the cannon as an example.

I look at this picture and my eye is drawn to that stack of cannon balls. There used to be a similar small stack next to each artillery piece on the field at Gettysburg, but they are all gone now. I wonder if this was done to cut down on maintenance (they were painted), prevention of vandalism, or what?

My guess would be theft/vandalism. The National Park Service says Gettysburg is the most vandalized areas of our national heritage. A lot of main and local roads run through the park, and they just can't patrol the large area.

The R.E.LEE camp soldiers home.

A home for confederate soldiers

I think that is located outside Richmond, Virginia. Here's an interesting page with details:
