EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of The Arcade in Bridgeport, Connecticut, USA, taken in 1916. The Arcade, a beloved historic landmark, was a shopping and social hub of the community during the 1910s. The interior of the arcade is filled with an array of shops, each offering unique wares and services. The glass roof, a stunning architectural feature, allows natural light to filter in, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. In this photograph, we see a bustling scene of people going about their day. A man in a suit and hat browses through the buffet restaurant, Jerome, perhaps considering what to order for lunch. Nearby, a sign for Hubert's Art Shop catches the eye, beckoning visitors to explore the latest creations. A singer, perched on a balcony, serenades shoppers with a lively tune, adding to the lively and festive atmosphere. The Arcade was more than just a place to shop; it was a gathering place where people came to connect with one another. The balcony, which can be seen in the background, served as a gallery for local artists to showcase their work. The signs, adorned with ornate typography, add to the charm of this bygone era. This photograph offers a glimpse into the rich history of Bridgeport and the role that The Arcade played in shaping the community. With its unique blend of shops, beautiful glass roof, and welcoming atmosphere, The Arcade remains an enduring symbol of the past and a reminder of the importance of preserving historical landmarks for future generations to enjoy.
