In 1909 Bridgeport, Connecticut, was a harbor city on Long Island Sound, where ships and rail lines carried goods between its wharves and the wider East Coast. Its waterfront, the Pequonnock River, and the mills and tenements climbing the surrounding hills gave the city a crowded, working look that visitors from New Haven or New York would have noticed. Residents of that decade knew Bridgeport as a place where a day's work could mean a shift at a metal shop, a dock, or a rail yard, and where the churches, schools, and public buildings on the main streets were a sign of how far the city had grown since the 1870s. This view records that mix of commerce, housing, and open water.
