1931

Beard Street, south side, between Richard and Otsego Streets. At the left is a view of one of the many buildings of the Robin Dry Dock and Repair Co. June 6, 1931. P.L. Sperr. Note: the business name is sometimes spelled Robbins or Robins (always with an 'S'). Not sure of correct spelling, but this caption may have it wrong.
