Hi there! What a treasure to have new historical photos submitted. I can’t speak to the identity of the people but the dark house in photo #15, entitled Upton Center, is definitely the old rectory at the corner of Nelson and Warren Streets. We live across Warren Street and it’s thrilling to have a historical photo of our house! Thanks so much for posting these!
Hi, Beth I just went back and looked at the photo and can now visualize where it was taken.. Thanks! Just now while looking at it I noticed a man is being pulled in what looks like flat sleigh by a horse.
I just noticed the horse, too! It’s really amazing to see the landscape without all the trees we have now!
WOW, they are cool pics .. What a history our town has! Marilyn Holman 508-529-7791 Manager/Owner Town Crier Publications
