DescriptionViews of buildings in Hartford, including houses and commercial buildings. A wood frame and brick house with louvered shutters at the windows is on the corner of Windsor Street and Avon Street. The view includes a dirt street, a sidewalk with curbing, a leafless tree, a commercial building across the street in the background, and some barrels in the back of the house. A mostly illegible sign hanging at the front of the building reads in part: "Ales / and Lager"
Another view of a different wood frame house identified as the McCook house, shows bunting or flags with stars and stripes, and American flags decorating the front of the building at the door and windows. What appears to be four leaf clover or shamrock decoration with a "2" is hanging at the center of part of the display over the door. A fence is in the foreground.
Several men, some wearing hats and overcoats, and two leaning on umbrellas, stand in front of a store window. The sign over the door reads: "O.D. Woodruff & Co. ", the same name appears above the store on a larger sign hanging above a folded awning. There appear to be hats on display over the door. This picture may be in Boston and not Hartford.
A fourth image shows a lengthwise view of the interior of a men's clothing store. Five men stand at the center on the wood floor. One man wears eyeglasses, a hat, and an overcoat. Drawers and shelves are throughout the store. Most shelves are stocked with merchandise. Some visible items are shirts, neckties, and bowties. Counters are at the right. Boxes are also stocked on the shelves.
