Description

Photograph taken looking west from about number 1637 East Fayette between North Bond and Broadway Streets at the north side of the 1600 block East Fayette Street in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1936-1937, these two- and three-story brick row houses were scheduled to be torn down to widen Fayette Street to accommodate the increasing traffic. In the picture the houses look deserted except for two African American men, one sitting on the near steps and another walking at the far end of the street. On the side wall of the nearest building is a sign advertising Free State lager beer, the product of a local Baltimore brewery. Above the sign is the name of the advertising agency, Leonard. Tracks are embedded in the roadway, and electric lines for streetcars are suspended above the street.
