Intersection of Arbor and Main St. Car Barn lot is on the left, 2nd building on the right is the old fire station, next is the Water Dept building that I believe was moved to the Museum and after that is Porter's store. I don't know what are in those buildings now.

In Terms of timing- I'll say 1890-1900- turn of century... I have a picture of my house, in my house taken about 1900.

I agree on the location and the date. The first building on the right is gone. The second one is now Viola Lovely, then Grassy Roots.

You all might mention that the picture is in Wenham looking Northeast. Also mention the streetcar tracks going into the car barn to the left and going to Hamilton.
