Description |
Looking from 69 Russell, the home of the Minichiello family, toward the sunset, North End, Portsmouth, NH. Beyond the chainlink fence is Wall Street . The building on the left is 45 Russell, the home of the Zoffoli family. Behind the Zoffoli family is 35 Russell, the home of the Fiandaca family. On the right is 13 Russell Alley, home of the Geraci family. This area became the parking lot for the Sheraton Hotel, built in the 1980s. In the distance, the snowfield is the former site of homes along Maplewood, Jackson, Vaughan and Wendell streets. These homes were already demolished as part of the Vaughan Street Urban Renewal Project. It would become the site of the Portsmouth Herald building. 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. |
