Description	View of a building identified as a Rehabed[sp?] Brokerage firm, formerly J. Johnson Clothiers, in the Church Street Project area. The number "85" can be seen over double glass entry doors on the left side of the building. "SHEARSON HAMMILL/Members New York Stock Exchange" is visible to the left of the doors. Another larger Shearson Hammill sign can be seen in a window farther to the left. Signs in the windows above indicate that Van Leeuwen Advertising, Inc. will be located in the building, and also appear to advertise space for rent. Wolfe's Bakery is partially visible in the window of an adjacent building to the left. A sign advertising "HAIR/SHAPING" can be seen in the second-story window of the adjacent building to the right.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Dated May 1961. One of a collection of photographs taken by the New Haven Redevelopment Agency to document a massive urban planning and development project undertaken from 1956 through the mid-1970s. The federally-financed redevelopment initiative was realized through a series of projects focused on particular New Haven city neighborhoods identified by street or area names. These projects involved the demolition of old structures and construction of new buildings, roadways and other facilities. Much of the area involved in the Church Street project had been characterized by a mix of small stores, restaurants, theaters and residences. In the course of redevelopment, whole blocks were demolished to make way for larger modern structures such as department stores, hotels, office buildings, a mall and the New Haven Coliseum. Comparison with other images and street numbering indicate building is probably 85 Church Street, on the east side of Church between Chapel and Crown. "Rehabed" may mean that the building has been rehabilitated to house new businesses.
