Description

Photograph taken looking north at the east side of the 200 block South Bond Street between Gough and Pratt Streets in Baltimore, Maryland. These two- and three-story brick row houses are mostly vacant, scheduled to be demolished as part of the Baltimore Housing Authority's slum clearance program (notices appear on houses). On the southeast corner is a store with an exterior sign that reads, "Bond St. Music. Radios and Grapmaphones (sic) Repaired--Work Guaranteed." In the windows on both sides of its center doors are signs reading "We must vacate" and "Entire stock must be sold." On the west side of the street near the corner is a street lamp with the name of the cross street (Gough) readable. Behind the street lamp in front of the second row house stands an African American woman with a baby carriage. She appears to be talking to someone in the doorway of the house. Farther down the street people are walking along the sidewalk. Cars are parked on this side of the street. Tracks are embedded in the cobblestone roadway, but those on Bond Street appear to be unused, since they are completely covered up by tracks on Gough Street. Electric lines for streetcars are suspended over Gough Street. (Waldeck photograph 47.) (Editor's note: Identifying words on the front of this photograph claim this is a picture of South Caroline Street, but information on this and other photographs proves this is South Bond Street.)
