Massachusetts Avenue

Description: View of the 300 block of Massachusetts Avenue looking toward Monument Circle. Businesses line the street, including W. H. Burget Druggist, Model Laundry, Gray & Taylor, Indiana Dye House, Bartlett Teas and Coffees, Schiffmans Restaurant, Manufactors (sic) Shoe Co., and Beitmans Big Store. People ride along the trolley track-lined street in horse-drawn buggies and pedestrians pepper the sidewalk. An advertisement for Polk Co. Milk can also be seen. Bretzman purchased his first cirkut camera in 1906 and this appears to be one of his earlier works.
The original nitrate negative was copied with funds provided by a grant from the National Historical Publications and Records Commission in 1990. This digital image was created from that copy. The copy prints and negatives are stored in Microfiche Number order. Interpositives are stored in PAN number order.
