Intersection of Howell Street & North 23rd Street

A 1955 photograph of the intersection of North 23rd Street and Howell Street, taken looking at Howell Street from North 23rd Street, was contributed by John "Jack" Griffiths, formerly of 2216 Howell Street, who is himself the subject of the picture. The photograph was published on the original site but is no longer held in the archive; this record of it is all that survives.
