“Horn & Hardart - 25 St. — 1969”
The exact project or site has not yet been identified.
A Horn & Hardart token is a tiny piece of the system that made the Automat famous: customers exchanged cash for coins and used them to unlock individual dishes behind glass doors. For this entry, that object is more truthful than showing the wrong storefront. Rita's '25 St.' may name a branch, office or service facility, but the 1969 address still needs a directory or company job file.

Horn & Hardart Automat brass token, from The Cooper Collections. Used deliberately in place of a branch photograph because Rita's line gives no address.
