DescriptionColor slides document demolition and construction in Parkville and the West End Section of Hartford, showing the Park Street Development Area, the Pope Park Development Area, the Underwood Typewriter Factory, and other local businesses. Several slides were taken from near the New Park Avenue School; several others at the corner of Park Street and Newton Street. Another group of slides depicts construction near the junction of South Whitney Street and Capital Avenue in Hartford. Individual slides show construction at the corner of Quaker Lane and Prospect Street in West Hartford and a house about to be torn down at the corner of Waterville Road, Nod Road, and Route 44 in Avon.
