Description

Album compiled by Waldo Sprague (some original work; some photographs collected by him), containing snapshots of New England churches. Extensive coverage of all New England states. Localities are specified for each church.

While coverage of the region's early architectural traditions is extensive, the documentary value of these photographs suffers from a too-distant perspective in most images. Work dates to the 1930s-1940s.
