At the time, these might have been pretty ordinary scenes and not something most people would immediately think is of value to document. Fast forward to 2015 and I think these photos are very interesting – The New Haven Hospital no longer exist (now YNHH) but Libby’s does. Help us document The Signs of New Haven today for future generations. Learn more about this collaboration with the Urban Design League and The New Haven Museum here or on Facebook.
We want your photos of your neighborhood! Help us document New Haven!
