I just noticed the "Stop." sign hanging from the trolley power wire. No need for a stop sign at an intersection with horses and carriages, but trolleys could pose a threat since they could go thorough a busy intersection at a higher speed.

The streetlight is interesting. It is an electric carbon arc lamp. These preceded incandescent lamps. They were very bright, noisy, and too smoky for indoor use. Notice the elaborate mechanism to lower the lamp via the crank on the pole. This would allow easier changing of the carbon electrodes as they burned up.

It's nice to see that two men could walk down the street arm in arm and not get any "gay" comments. When did this country get so uptight about men touching each other?

It was not until 1969 that Yale admitted undergraduate women as full time students. One hundred years before that, women grad students were allowed to take certain specified classes at Yale in the arts, etc., but it was only 43 yrs. ago that they were finally permitted to join the men as equal undergrads.

All these men and only one woman walking down the street.
