View appears to be from just northwest of the intersection of Crown Street and Temple Streets.

Partially visible on the south side of George Street is the Downtown Shopping Triangle building The spire of the United Illuminating headquarters on Temple Street can be seen in the right background.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. 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. As part of this project, Malley's department store was relocated from its old quarters at Chapel and Temple Streets to a new building that occupied the block between Church and Temple Streets south of George Street. The Downtown Shopping Triangle was near the junction of Congress and Meadow Streets, which are shown in a 1950 city directory map as intersecting with George and Church Streets. The Downtown Shopping Triangle appears to have occuped a triangular lot between Meadow and George Streets.
