The "Town Building" in Bristol, Connecticut, is the focus here, with early automobiles parked along the street in front of its storefronts. Bristol was a manufacturing city known for clockmaking and brass and hardware production, and by the 1910s its main streets were shifting from horse-drawn traffic to motorcars. Photographs like this one capture a transitional moment, when cars were still novel enough to draw attention yet common enough to crowd the curb beside the shops.
