Sometimes a photo may not be the most aesthetically interesting, but can really create a mystery, as was the case with this photo.
During the winter of 2021-2022, I came upon a negative of a beautiful mural, but no information was given on the protective sleeve.
In the early spring of 2025, working through a large collection, an envelope in the box contained a Stereoview card that looked very familiar.
It was the same image!
The envelope had this information written on the outside: "Wall Paper, Old King House on the Green--Woodstock, Vermont. Known later as Norman Williams house, site of the library."
Mystery solved. I wish this had moved into the library!
Woodstock Inn
This postcard of the "old Inn", is unique because it has light reflecting off the glass due to foil being applied to the photograph. Of all the many attempts at capturing the essence of this grand old building that we see, this is the one that I truly like, imagining a stroll through the park at sunset and looking up just in time to witness the colors reflecting from the west.
Green Mountain Horse Association, South Woodstock
I like this postcard image of a horse show at Green Mountain Horse Association with the barn at the home of Robert F Lewis and Nancy Gillette Lewis and their children in the background.
It shows a much simpler time, compared with driving past this area now, filled with huge horse trailers and stall spaces. Well-known photographer George Biggs took this photo.
