Description	View of commercial buildings on Asylum Street. Trolley tracks are in the street and snow is on the ground. The two-story building in the center has signs that read: "Ladies and Gentlemans / Dining and Lunch Room: "[Popular] Restaurant" "Steaks Chops and Oysters." A sign in the shop window reads: "Regular / Dinner / 25 cents." Signs on the building at the right read: "Josh & Abbato / Shoe [?] Parlor / Hats Cleaned and Pressed / Derby Hats 5 and 10 Cents" and "Wholesale Wines / The Lathrop Co." An advertising sign on the side of the building reads in part: "Buy shoes bearing / Boot and Shoe / Workers Union / Union [sic] stamp." Used furniture is displayed for sale on the sidewalk in the alley beside the lunchroom. The large brick building with fire escapes at far left appears to be a residential building, perhaps an apartment house. A smokestack is in the background. A horse-drawn vehicle is at the far right. Inscribed on back: "Bldg on site of New / Bond Hotel on Asylum St. / (Make it for Tuesday) / 1912 / Courant."
