Other Information

Photos 1 & 2 are magnifications of Photo 3 to provide additional detail of the Mail pouch sign.

The entire area has undergone significant redevelopment over the years. The referenced location of 6th Ave./Webster Ave. intersection is now the 6th Ave./Bigelow Square intersection. During the development of the site for the Civic Arena a portion of Webster Ave. was removed and it now terminates at Crawford St. just east of the parking lot that formerly served the Civic Arena.

Photo 4 is a view of the area today. The Hotel Larkin was in the rear of the view at the right and the building with the Mail Pouch sign was just beyond.
Where to find it
