Phelon Homestead (see caveat in Description)
Title
Phelon Homestead (see caveat in Description)
Description
From a George Aldrich glass negative, likely 1910 to 1930.
This image was shared on the Granville-Tolland community Facebook group page on June 17, 2022. BF comented: "Looks like the old Phelon homestead." RD "Liked" that Comment so unless someone definitively proves otherwise that's what we're going with.
The note on the envelope that contained the glass negative is not clearly legible but guesses include, "Recd Machine" (received machine) which doesn't match the photo given there is no machine visible. Another guess was "Read" or "Reed." Another possibility is that the glass negative was put back in the wrong envelope some time over the past 100 or so years so the note has nothing to do with the photo.
Can you solve the mystery?
