Schrafft’s Restaurant and Motor Inn, New London
Featuring the Four Kings Cocktail Lounge. Card not mailed.
Memorial Arch, Hartford
The Soldiers and Sailors Memorial Arch in Hartford’s Bushnell Park. The Park River, diverted underground during a 1940s flood control project, is in the foreground. Card was mailed in 1907 to Milton, Massachusetts, by someone who apparently owes his Nana some money. And probably an explanation.
Riverside Park, Hartford
A park, alongside a river. Mailed in 1907 to Newark, New Jersey.
Main Street, Stratford
Looking south from near Harvey Place.
Yale Old Campus, New Haven
Card not mailed
Harten House, Waterbury
The former Waterbury Inn, with a new roof, survives today as the Super 8 off Scott Road. Harten House, which proclaimed itself to be “Waterbury’s finest restaurant,” is today’s Ninos. We can only wonder at the magic that started in the daiquiri-scented ambiance of Harten House’s cleverly named Nightcap Lounge.
Valley Railroad, Essex
Young woman in the lower right corner isn’t enough to skew the average passenger age perceptibly. Woman next to her isn’t picking, but we had to look twice.
Constitution Plaza, Hartford
People transfixed by the cement waterfalls
