photo album #57C
GUSN-193756
One paperbound volume of black and white photographs, exposed in the 1920s, and presumably taken by Alfred Shurrocks, an architectural historian. These photographs in many instances duplicate material already in the geographic files, but no attempt has been made to estimate the precise amount of duplication. Most of the locations are identified.
Photographs show wonderful architectural detail of a large expanse of houses in Massachusetts. There are exteriors, interiors, kitchens, bedrooms, fireplaces, beams, wall details, and staircases.
Album C contains over 450 black and white photographs of early houses and sites in Massachusetts with one image of a building in Greenwich, Connecticut. Consists of interior views of early structures, together with some exteriors. Among these are door, fanlight and stairway details. Also photos of the Nantucket windmills.
The overall quality of these photographs is quite good for both study and reproduction purposes. Negatives exist for many prints, though unfortunately negative numbers have not consistently been applied to the corresponding print. Users should be sure to consult the negative index under the appropriate locality to determine if negatives exist. These will be in the "a" series.
