DescriptionAmerican Cement Company property located on Fishfry Street in the north end of Hartford. Behind the stacks of pipes and other materials is a warehouse building and a one-story office building with sign reading "AMERICAN CEMENT CO." across the top of the building's façade. Leafless trees are in the foreground.
NotesSubject Note: This is a closer view of the same complex pictured in 1995.36.845. The American Cement Company was subsequently known as the American Masons' and Building Supply Company. The company still occupies the same space on Fishfry Street, but the buildings featured in this photograph seem to have been torn down as of 2013. (Agins 8/16/2013)
