Rooftop view looking over empty lots toward Church Street. Some business signs are legible beyond the First New Haven National Bank, reading "Congress Pants" and "Gilden's."
The Hotel Garde on Columbus Avenue, between Orange and Meadow Streets. A sign at the corner reads "GARDE/HOTEL/BAR/RESTAURANT;" and another reads "BAR/LUNCHETTE."
Buses wait at the intersection of Temple and Chapel. Pedestrians are on the sidewalk. Malley's Department Store, decorated for Christmas, is in the background.
