So much to see in this view from Old Burial Hill. A nice shot of the ten-footer at the bottom of the stairs to Fountain Park. It looks like they opened the ground for a burial in the cemetery. There is a horse and buggy parked outside a house on Orne Street, near a fire hydrant! There is a building near the driveway to Fort Sewall lettered with Brockway-Smith etc. Note all of the white blurs on the water, showing it was a windy day and the sailboats were moving fast during this long exposure photo. There are a few outhouses behind houses and a clothesline with clothing blowing in the wind. There is a box on the bench in the foreground, most likely part of the photographer's equipment. Almost no trees on Marblehead Neck. (glass negative / donated by Bill Rowe)
