Description

This consists of 26 leaves, on which are mounted 4x7 photographs, average to good quality, documenting the residence, guests, residents, interiors and surroundings of a (summer?) house in Kingston, Massachusetts, 1898-1899, apparently belonging the to the Barker family. Other residences in the town of Kingston are also shown. There are two photographs of Thanksgiving dinner, a rare amateur subject, but unfortunately these are faded and probably are not suitable for reproduction.
