DescriptionCentre Street east from North Water Street, New Bedford. Shows the shops of William H. Maxfield and Son, House, Ship and Sign Painters; and W. H. (William H.) Cook & Co., Junk Dealers. Both shops are listed in these locations in the city directories from 1871 to 1881, hence the approximate date given to this photograph. Given the clothing worn by the girl visible in the doorway of Maxfield's store, this can likely be dated to the later 1870s to 1881.
