I love the woman in this photo. To operate railroad crossing gates she wore a dress, hose, and heels, but no gloves.

Below is looking south today down Washington Street from its intersection with Columbus Boulevard. The brick building with columns was and is Elks Lodge 957. The huge parking garage at left today is attached to New Britain City Hall.
