A sign over the doorway visible at the far right side of the building reads: "MUHAMMAD'S/MOSQUE/MEETINGS/SUN 1:30 P.M./WED 7:30 P.M." A billboard on the left side of the building advertises Knickerbocker Beer. Four black men and one white woman are standing in front of the store. A mailbox can be seen in near the street corner. A traffic light is visible above.
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 Dixwell Project had been characterized by a mix of residences, small stores and businesses. As part of redevelopment, older buildings were demolished to make way for modern structures and centralized shopping plazas. Redevelopment extended beyond Dixwell Avenue proper to surrounding and adjacent areas.
