This was a fun find today! All of our photographs have been grouped into one area of the collection, but apparently they missed this one, and I just discovered it today when inventorying our account books! This album is full of picturesque North Andover views and belonged to the Harraden-Holt-Howes family. How many scenes do you recognize? Comment on the photo if you can guess its location!
