Description
In this view from the top of the tower on City Hall, the Old Toll Bridge crosses the Penobscot; the temple-like facade on the entrance is discernible. A series of business blocks dominate the scene, the long building in the background is the City Point Block, built in 1831-32 by Charles G. Bryant and housing sixteen storefronts; the three-story white building in the front is the John Sargent, Jr. Block, and the building abutting its left is Merchant's Row.
