Notes
Handwritten on the rear: “Blacy House / 1934.”
From the July 22, 1955 "Your Town & My Town":
The picture shown above was taken in 1934, eight years after the house, originally owned by Miss Emma Eldredge, passed into the possession of DeWitt P. Henry. Interesting old deeds, temporarily in the possession of the writer, show that in the years between 1881, when it was first built, and 1926, this house had passed through several ownerships. In 1946 it was sold by DeWitt Henry to his son, John Henry, who sold it to its present occupants, Mr. and Mrs. Harry Black, about six years ago.
