Most of these early buildings surrounded the intersection of Short Street and Broad Avenue.

Broad Avenue is a street and arts district in Memphis, Tennessee.

Broad Avenue was originally the main street of Binghampton, a small railroad town chartered in 1895.

In 1919, the city was annexed by Memphis, and Broad Avenue gradually fell into disrepair.

Still, the laborers will wait on the far corners of Broad Avenue all day.

All four men standing on the corner of Broad Avenue chuckled when they were asked if they had ever been cheated out of pay.

Standing on Broad Avenue, the borough's main thoroughfare, she looked both ways as she spoke.

The men who came here looking for work with their hands were never welcome, especially not on Broad Avenue for everybody to see.

Instead, it was called Broad Avenue.

The old commercial strip on Broad Avenue in the Binghampton area is home to a cluster of artists and craftsmen.
