Irvington, New Jersey, 1961

If those billboard advertisements for Beifus Buick look familiar, it’s because today’s street scene (found on the Duke University Library’s photo archives) comes from about the same time and just up the road from our last Irvington, New Jersey, street scene. Here, we’re on Clinton Avenue in downtown Irvington, looking in on the five-way intersection of Springfield, Clinton, and Union. What do you see here?
