Lawrence, Mass., miscellaneous photographs collection

855211031

This is an open and growing collection of images that come into the Library without significant information about the events portrayed or even where they were taken. Some images are entirely unidentified. Some of the snapshots appear to be sets, but there is not enough information to research them. There are also two plaques: "Erected by the City of Lawrence AD 1916" including names of the commission, the engineer, and the contractors and a "Jubilee plaque 1874-1924 presented to the Revd. Father James T. O'Reilly OSA by his friends of every race and creed in the City of Lawrence in commemoration of fifty years of faithful service as a clergyman and a citizen." Topics represented include: the Pacific Mills Band, dams and ice storms, houses, people, etc
