DescriptionUtility poles line a rutted dirt street that appears to be wet from rain. A woman walks on a paved sidewalk at the right. Signs read: "Tin / Types" "Photogra[phs] / and Tintypes" "Fine / Custom / Shoe / Repairing" "Crawford / Shoe / Store / 69 Asylum." Theatrical posters advertise "Sutton Vane's / Great Drama / The / Span / of / Life / Hartford Opera House / 3 Nights Monday Jan. 8" and "The Utopians / Opera House / 3 Nights Jan. 4." Blank granite gravestones are displayed for sale on the street corner. Snow is on the ground in Bushnell Park, beyond a wire fence. Union Station is visible at the far left. Trolley wires are overhead.
