Content description:
As with the previous photo (2000.1.1025) the assumption is that the location of this photo is in Havenscourt tract. These then are lots 77 to 72 of Block 2 of that tract. They are designated as business lots. There are many houses in the background,, but apparently not yet enough to support businesses. However, there is already a streetcar line on the far side of this street. Two men (realtors?) are standing on the sidwalk on the far side of the street, so that merchants may not be far behind. A soft top automobile is parked at the curb at right center.
Concepts:
subdivision; track; street
Places:
Havenscourt neighborhood
