A view looking East down West Adams Street between Hogan Street and Laura Street, 1954. The Eastman Kodak Store, Lahn’s, French Novelty, Nancy Scott and other businesses line the block which ends with the Greenleaf & Crosby Building which was built in 1928. The Elks Club Building and Hotel Roosevelt can be seen past the Laura Street intersection.

Look how close these drivers had to parallel park. I don’t see how they kept from nipping bumpers with these 50’s size automobiles.
