Description |
Welch's Auto Electric Service Garage, Hanover Street, Portsmouth, NH. The foreground is Hanover Street, and behind the garage is the brick house at 47 Hill Street. Previous to the garage, this was the site of the Hanover Street Chapel, the Walker School and then a city fire engine house. There was a natural spring on this site that supplied water for the fire engine house, and before that, the spring supplied water for Portsmouth's Bath House, which was located across the street. During Urban Renewal, the garage and the brick house were demolished. Today, this is the site of Portwalk. 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. |
