Description
Photograph of several street cars running through the intersection of 3rd and Hill Streets, ca.1938. Automobiles stop for pedestrians crossing the road as three street cars roll down the street. A large brick building with a pointed turret-like embellishment atop it is visible at center, while part of a building bearing a sign that reads "Savoy Park Here" is visible in the foreground at left. A hotel can be seen across the street at right. More buildings can be made out in the smoky background.
