From the Collection

Glossy black and white photo of the house that once stood at 53 Hildreth St, also known as the Harris House and Butternut Farm. The picture was taken in 1880, prior to remodeling. In front are Charles Abbott Harris (1839-1903) and his wife, Sarah Mia Turnbull (1847-1919). Prior owners included the Wright and Hildreth families. The Daley family owned the house by the 1970s. The house was considered to be one of the oldest in town, and was built prior to 1855, first appearing on maps of that year. It was demolished in 2018.
