1936: A SPLENDID VIEW OF PERRY STREET AT NO..WARREN

What an exciting photo! Herewith an extract from the Duke Library R.C. Maxwell Collection showing the view just in front of St. Mary's Cathedral, looking north. If you look very closely, you will see the Blakely Laundry smokestack in the distance. Note also the "Frigidaire" ad for the coin operated appliance that was a common site in the more affluent areas during the "Great Depression."
