Car number 5690 makes the turnaround at Hyde Square in April of 1949. On the left can be seen a drugstore with a “Drink Coca-Cola” sign. Also on the left a sign reads “Watch Repair”. The “Centre St.” sign can also be seen clearly on the left.

A chapel can be seen behind the brick wall.  Three school buildings operated by the House of Angel Guardians were also on the grounds. Photograph courtesy of Frank Cheney.
