Description |
Construction site around the Deer Street and the "new" Russell Street intersection of the North End, Portsmouth, NH. The Sarah Mildred Long Bridge and the construction on the Interstate 95 Piscataqua River Bridge can be seen in the background. The original Russell Street ran from Market to Vaughan, parallel to Deer, while the "new" Russell Street now runs perpendicular and intersects with Deer. In early urban renewal plans, this new route is referred to as "New Fleet Street" as it was planned to connect with Fleet at the Hanover intersection. This is one of 327 images attributed to Thomas Minichiello who documented the destruction of the North End from c. 1968-1972. The neighborhood was demolished as part of the Vaughan Street Urban Renewal Project, c. 1968. |
