I grew up in the house on 133 Washington Rd. from the early 1960’s to the early 1980’s. I remember as a child seeing old glass black and white slides of said house from my neighbor across the street. Her name was Ms. Hannah French. I do not know whatever became of the slides after she passed. I was curious if one of these two photographers may have taken the pictures, my gut says yes.Nice to see some of the old photos in here though!
