Color Souvenir Postcard Looking Down Main Street Farmington NH
Description
An account of the resource
Two colorized souvenir postcards looking down Main Street, Farmington NH, focusing on the area of the juncture of Central and Main. Each is from the same vantage point, but differences between the two are quite noticeable. Each is post electrification. Given the Barker Block is missing in the second postcard the first would be before the 1910 Barker Block Fire and the second post 1910 Barker Block fire. The Nute -Dole -Waldron Factory can be seen, first building on the left and the Richard's Block, third building on the left. the Congregational Church is center in both postcards.

Birds Eye View Central & Main Souvenir Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
Black and white, Farmington, NH postcard showing a birds eye view of Central Street and Main Street in downtown Farmington, facing north, up the Main Street hill, during the day. The Richards Block and Odd Fellows Block buildings can be seen in the photo in the middle-ground. The White Store can be seen. Some of what is left of the Barker Block, in the foreground, can be seen, after the fire took out all of that block, reducing it to rubble. The rubble has been cleared. Trees can be seen throughout the downtown, sans their leaves. A horse is hitched at the Farmington News building. A dozen people seem to be milling about the downtown. The shops appear to be open, as they have their awnings extended. The photo is post electrification. Divided back postcard.

Goodwin Library Hand Colored Souvenir Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
A hand colored souvenir postcard Farmington, NH with face featuring The Goodwin Library looking at the building's front, side profile from North Main Street. This two story Neo Classical, brick building is as it was originally built and does not have the back addition that would come later in the twentieth century. The Barker Block extension has not been built, so the north side of the library building does not touch the southern portion of the Barker Block building to the north. The windows in that north side are still in full view in this photo. The Pyhthian Block still stands behind the library building and the side of that building can be seen to the west side, behind library. Divided back postcard.
