This collection of late 19th century photographs from Boston Public Library that shows 17th and 18th century buildings in Eastern Massachusetts, they was compiled by the Liberty Tree Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
The mounted photographs consist of homes, taverns, churches, stores, and public buildings. The D. A. R. was founded in 1890, during a time that was marked by a revival in patriotism and intense interest in the beginnings of the United States of America.
