Trash cleanup day, 1922

Description:	A group of fourteen men pose on and among three trucks loaded with refuse. The trucks are parked on Walnut Street just east of Capitol Avenue in Corydon, Indiana. The event was a town trash clean-up day in 1922. The frame, gable-front building behind the men at the right was William S. Shucks livery business. It later was owned by the Sunshine Chicken Hatchery. The building to the left, was a large, two-story, frame structure that faced Capitol Avenue and historically housed a grocery or restaurant on the ground floor and residential housing on the upper floor. James Donahue opened a restaurant and pub in the building around 1930. This building and the adjacent Sunshine Hatchery facilities were destroyed by fire in 1948.
