Title	South side of George Street looking toward Church Street and Congress Avenue, New Haven.
Creator	Haskell, Marion R.
Place	George Street (New Haven, Conn.) Church Street (New Haven, Conn.) Congress Avenue (New Haven, Conn.)
Topic	Urban renewal Commercial buildings
Theme	Infrastructure Livelihood
Description	View of the south side of George Street looking toward the intersection with Church Street and Congress Avenue, Church Street Project area, New Haven, prior to redevelopment. Businesses occupying the commercial buildings on George Street include Duvals Restaurant, at far right. The business at the west end of a two-story building next the restaurant has a sign reading "COMMERCIAL/ GARAGE" and advertises used cars, parking and storage. A hotel sign can be seen farther down George Street. The adjoining building facing the intersection and Congress Avenue appears to be Congress Square. The Downtown Shopping Triangle can be seen on the east side of the intersection.
Notes	Title supplied by cataloger. Taken by Mrs. Marion R. Haskell, March 1959. 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 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. The commercial buildings west of Church and south of George were on the site eventually occupied by the new Malley's department store. A 1950 city directory map shows that Congress Avenue once intersected with George and Church Streets.
