Backyard of 45 Russell Street at intersection of Wall Street, North End, Portsmouth, NH. Image most likely taken from 13 Russell Alley. The person sitting on the bench might be Tia Zoffoli. The Zoffoli family ran a corner store at 45 Russell. Beyond is the attached barn of the Home For Aged Women at 63 Deer; the Russell Street playground; the Ciotti home at 78-80 Russell; the backyard of the 1705 House (Newmarch House) on Deer; and other homes in the North End. After urban renewal, the some of these building are now in the area of the parking lot for the nearby Sheraton Hotel, built in the 1980s. 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. |
