Title	Statewide Poultry, east side of State Street, New Haven, prior to redevelopment.
Creator	Street, A. Burton.
Place	State Street (New Haven, Conn.) Fair Street (New Haven, Conn.)
Topic	Urban renewal Signs and signboards Trucks Storefronts Meat industry and trade Commercial buildings Streets
Theme	Infrastructure Livelihood
Description	View of Statewide Poultry, identified as located on the east side of State Street, New Haven, between Fair Street and the Connector, prior to redevelopment. View shows three-story buildings with signs above storefronts advertising businesses. The sign over the Statewide storefront reads "MEATS STATEWIDE POULTRY". Another sign above advertises butter. Lettering on a truck in front of the store reads: "THE STANDARD BEEF CO./NEW HAVEN, CONN.", "COMPLETE/LINE", "HEINZ/PRODUCTS", "NOTHING COULD BE FINER", and "BUY THOSE FINE/GUILFORD PRODUCTS". To the left of Statewide, a building numbered 159-157 houses The Hoffman Press. A man can be seen on the sidewalk to the left.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Dated June 1964. 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. This area of State Street is identified as part of the Lower Project area, Church Street Project. Prior to redevelopment, the Church Street project area 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. City directories place the Hoffman Press at 157 State Street, in a tiny angle of street between George and Whiting Streets. A 1950 city directory map shows Fair Street as extending east for two blocks from the intersections of State, George and Whiting Streets. Whiting Street no longer exists.
