25. BARRETT STREET LOOKING EAST

September 8, 1941

A street department crew is busy shoveling and leveling hot asphalt atop a stone base before it is pressed and smoothed by a steam roller. The house at 32 Barrett Street, on the right in this photograph dated September 8, 1941, has been lifted but not yet moved back from the street. The new sidewalk is level with and extends right up to the doorway of the house at 14 Barrett Street. Between the two residences a section of the American Woolen Company’s factory building and smokestack are visible.

Trees and shrubs obscure a view of the buildings along Barrett Street today. However, the sidewalk and gutters built in 1941 are still visible. The building at 14 Barrett Street was razed in 1993.[1]
