Emerson House 1934

These three photos come from a photo album bought several years ago on Ebay. Most of the photos have some writing on them but not enough to identify the location or people. I wonder if the house is Ralph Waldo Emerson's house? In the photo of the woman standing in front of the bush the house in the background has shutters along with a set of bow-like windows that look like his home.

Emerson's House


According to Wikipedia friends and family lived there until 1948. These photos were taken in the 1930's so perhaps they are people who lived in the house.

Two of the photos are of the same young woman. The 3rd photo shows 6 woman wearing what look like maid or housekeeping uniforms, and 1 man in a suit. It's possible these photos aren't of Ralph Waldo Emerson's house at all but are of an inn or restaurant somewhere. I will posting more photos from this album that might help identify where this album is from.


There are 4 names within this album: Billy Verril or Verrill, Bob Hatch, Scott Hamlin, and Bob Rigby. There is also a Dr. Wright, no first name. Most of the non-Emerson photos are taken in York and Portland, Maine; and Haverhill, MA.
