Surely someone out there knows more about these old scenes than I do.
Any information you would like to share would be greatly appreciated and
will help make this web-site more interesting.
This picture shows Mountain Home when the Nutes owned it and operated a large farm extending westward to Silver Springs, Eastward to about where The Bartlett Inn is located today and Northward to the Saco River. They catered to guests who wanted to stay on a working farm for the summer.
This picture shows the Nutes standing in front of their farmhouse. The notation on the back of the card is shown below.
Another early view of the River Street bridge. Note the fence on the right indicating cows or horses were kept there. The cave on Cave Mountain is clearly visible.
All these pictures are clickable for a larger view.
Rogers Crossing, probably about 1940. The trees along the right side of the street after the crossing claimed their share of automobile collisions by cars speeding around the S curve. More than one local resident lost their lives to these trees.
This picture shows the old General Thermostat Corp Building which was managed by a Mr Reingruber (I think). He lived on the upper floor. It built Honeywell thermostats and probably employed about 30 people.
The backside of this July 1957 card is addressed to Mr Russ Hosmer in Wilmerding Penn. and the writer is one Alan T. There is mention of the Edaville Railroad and it sounds like Alan T was a scout looking for old railroad equipment to buy. Not that it has any bearing, but Wilmerding is home to the George Westinghouse Mansion. Click picture for a size you can read.
River Street Bridge - Probably 1900. Click on the picture to check out the two people on the bridge, one with a yellow coat and top-hat. The other person looks to be wearing a red union suit (underwear) and black boots.
