December 1940. "Industrial buildings in a Massachusetts town, possibly Brockton." View full size. 35mm Kodachrome transparency by Jack Delano.
This is the Douglas Shoe Factory in Brockton. It's been torn down in past few years but the houses are still there - check them out on Google Street View - Spark Street just north of Field Street
I know the unasked question on everyone's lips is:
What kind of traffic signal is that?
It's an Eaglelux, one of the first that the Eagle Signal company made. Yup. Okay, so now you know. My work here is done.
BTW, keep up the excellent work nameless Shorpy minions!!
I feel like I could reach out and touch that sky.
