Library, presumably in the Stevens-Coolidge Place estate in North Andover, Massachusetts because that’s the collection this photograph is in. Undated, looks 1930s-early 1950s maybe. The bookcases look Colonial Revival which makes sense as the house was remodeled in 1918 after the owner married a nephew of Isabella Stewart Gardner. Collections of the Trustees of Reservations.

On a voyage to see how much mileage I can get from the creative ability and eye for images that my family thought was useless. On line art curator, fiction writer and now blogger. Historian's daughter. Follow me . . .even I have no idea where I'm going next.
