Description
Photograph of a trolley car passing along a large building, ca.1930. At center, a large rectangular trolley is seen moving along a street. Thirteen windows are seen along the side of the trolley, and three large rectangles form the doorway at its center. Several passengers can be seen sitting near the windows of the car. Along the top of the trolley, a large metallic rod is seen extending to a group of wires above. Below the trolley, four wheels can be seen from the side supporting the structure. In the extreme background, a large building with several windows can be seen. To the right, two small figures are visible.
