DescriptionAutomobiles drive around a traffic circle outlined by round traffic signs. Additional automobiles are parked beside a brick commercial building in the background. The building has a curved facade, awnings, and signs that read "PARK HILL FLOWER SHOP" "PRESCRIPTION / PHARMACY / DRUGS - CIGARS." Utility poles line the streets. Crosswalks and the outline of the traffic circle are painted on the pavement. Trees, including what appear to be elm trees, are in the background.
NotesSubject Note: The photograph shows the intersection of Center Street (Rts. 6 and 44) and Main Street (Rt. 83) in Manchester.
