Asylum Street looking east from High Street, Hartford, ca. 1920

Several automobiles and people are on the unpaved dirt street. Trolley tracks run down the middle of the road. To the left, on the north side of the street, a doorman and several pedestrians stand in front of the Hotel Bond. Other signs on the building read: "AAA (Automobile Club of America)" and "Official Automobile Blue Book Hotel." Farther down the street are the Al & Bill Restaurant and the Majestic Theatre. On the south side, are Coleman's Sea Food, Newton & Burnet, Inc. (a meat market), and the Empire Theatre. There is a Coca Cola billboard advertisement on a building on the south side of the street. A sign on the car in the center reads: "Pullman Motor Cars / all models including 1/2 ton trucks / Price 825.00 / F.O.B. Factory / Charles Scranton Dealer."
