Like a deserted street in a deserted village

Largely empty block of primarily three- and four-story wooden buildings; man standing near lamppost at bottom right; automobiles, pedestrians, and other buildings in left background. Caption: "Like a Deserted Street in a Deserted Village? Looking down Maujer St. from Leonard St. Uncle Sam's huge $12,000,000 Williamsburg housing project is under way. Houses are boarded up. There are small signs stating the property belongs to the Government and there must be no trespassing. Within the 12-block area bounded by Leonard and Scholes Sts. and Maujer St. and Bushwick Ave. crews of wreckers with axes and crowbars are clearing off old tenements."
