Overall Impression:

Key Features:

  • Street: The image captures a street lined with a curb and what appears to be a roadway.
  • Utility Poles and Wires: The foreground and midground are filled with utility poles and a complex network of wires. These are likely for power and communication.
  • Fence/Barrier: A chain-link fence with a retaining wall runs along the side of the street, separating it from the area on the left.

The image is a black-and-white photograph taken at night, dated August 24, 1935. It depicts a street scene with a prominent building in the foreground on the right side, which appears to be a church or a similar type of institutional building. The building has a distinctive architectural style with a circular window and arched entryways.

To the left of the church, there is a large fenced area, likely a construction or industrial site, with several buildings inside the fence. The fence is made of chain-link material and appears to be temporary. The buildings within the fenced area have a utilitarian design, suggesting they might be workshops, warehouses, or other industrial facilities.

The street in the foreground is relatively empty, with no visible pedestrians or vehicles. Streetlights and utility poles line the street, providing some illumination to the scene. The overall atmosphere of the image is quiet and somewhat eerie, given the nighttime setting and lack of activity. The photograph captures a moment in time, providing a glimpse into the urban landscape of the mid-1930s.
