An intriguing 'Turnback Tuesday' post from 7 years ago

The building with a crowd gathering around it is Hubbell’s Shoe Store, located in the A.H. & C.B. Alling Building on Main and Elizabeth Streets in Derby.

The crowd of about 600 people assembled to see a woman be hypnotized in the store window. Interestingly enough, the same hypnotist also performed up the street at the Sterling Opera House.

The photo is derived from an old glass negative taken by photographer Myles P. Fillingham of Ansonia, circa early 1900s.

*This post came up in my Facebook memories today. I remember the photo well.
