1928 Sepia Farmington Opera House Fire Aftermath Photograph
Description
An account of the resource
A 1928 sepia photograph of the Farmington Opera House presenting the damage caused by the 1928 fire. Almost all aspects of the fire aftermath to the front and side can be seen in the photograph. The view is of the front and left side of the building from Main Street. The three story building with an internal mezzanine has collapsed in on itself with largely only the brick portions of the building still standing with the wooden trim burned or missing. Many double high windows on the front and both sides are visibly missing either melted, fallen, or knocked out. The simple single story portico with a small roof is almost completely gone. The multiple chimneys seemed to have fallen at least partially. There is snow on the ground, visible in several places.<br /><br /><br /><br />Condition: Fair. <br /><br />Size: 3.5" x 5.25"<br /><br /><br /><br />FHS-Kyle Leach

We Put the RIGHT KIND of Lubricant
In the RIGHT PLACE
You don't fill your radiator with muddy water, and—
You don't fill your gasoline tank with crude oil.
Why risk the life of your car by having its "vital spots"
lubricated with soapy lubricants which will become rancid
and necessitate large expenditures for repairs.
We use Genuine Alemite Lubricant a solidified oil made
especially for use with the Alemite and Alemite-Zerk Systems.
Alemite Lubricant
Resists tremendous bearing pressures
Is an excellent lubricant at 400 degrees F
Eetains its lubricating values at 30 degrees
below zero.
Will not cake or become rancid.
Let us help you eliminate 80 per cent of your repair bills
by Alemite-ing your car "Every 500 Miles."

Front View Sepia Photograph Farmington Opera House Main Street Pre 1928 Fire Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
Front right view sepia photograph postcard of the Farmington Opera House, Main Street, in downtown Farmington The view is of the front and left side of the building from Main Street. The three story building with an internal mezzanine or balcony was brick with wooden trim. It featured many double high windows on the front and both sides. It had a simple single story portico with a small roof. Four chimneys can be sen in the photo. The photo is set sometime in early spring, late fall or winter. No snow is on the ground, but deciduous trees do not have their leaves. Trees and surrounding buildings can be seen in the background. Boudin Street can be seen to the right od the buidling all the way back to Worcester Street. Trees surround the biulding at a distance and granite posts or hitches stand in front of the buidling by the road on Main Street. <br /><br /><br />A February 10, 1928 fire effectively burned the Farmington Opera House to the ground. The library and town offices, along with most books, artifacts, and town records, from earlier periods perished in the fire. <br /><br />Condition: Fair. The front photo of the post card has a black paper adhered to it in two places. Adhesive may be present on other portions as well. <br /><br /><br />Size: 3.5" x 5.5" <br /><br /><br /><br />FHS-Kyle Leach

loaded with joy and good cheer right now, and pierces
uncertainties of the future with the bright twinkle of
hope.
Christmas lifts yon out of your ordinary self and
pushes you up into being a person far nicer than you
u
have thought you were.
*L
Christmas opens up friendships more numerous,
more delightful and more heart-warming than you knew
you had.
Christmas appeals to allfiveof your senses. Is there
any sight lovelier than gaily wrapped gifts, multicolored
candles, shiny holly and decorations on a Christmas
tree? Isn't mere contentment in the fragrant smell of fir
balsam in the living room and of spicy odors in die
kitchen? Wouldn't the days seem empty without hear
ing again the universally-loved carols and the laughter
of happy children? Isn't self-control overstrained by the
taste of festive, tempting foods? And don't we respond
to the invigorating touch of the sweet air outdoors and
die welcome warmth of home and family within ?

Manchester corporations killed the bill.

There are
nine large establishments for this branch of butuness which

Farmington Opera House Color Souvenir Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
A Farmington NH Opera House colorized souvenir postcard. The view is of the front and left and side of the building looking down Main Street at an angle. The three story building with an internal mezzanine or balcony was brick with wooden trim. It featured many double high windows on the front and both sides. It had a simple single story portico with a small roof balustrade. Four chimneys can be seen in the photo. The photo is set sometime in early spring or fall. Mature trees are seen lining Main Street and surrounding buildings can be seen in the background and fences of home across the street in the foreground. Two, small horse drawn carriages can be seen parked in front.
A February 10, 1928 fire effectively burned the Farmington Opera House to the ground. The library and town offices, along with most books, artifacts, and town records, from earlier periods perished in the fire.
This card also has a similar miniature version, which is different from the original focused more on the Opera House set in spring or summer.

Farmington Opera House Sepia Souvenir Postcard
Description
An account of the resource
A Farmington NH Opera House sepia souvenir postcard. The view is of the front and left side of the building from Main Street. The three story building with an internal mezzanine or balcony was brick with wooden trim. It featured many double high windows on the front and both sides. It had a simple single story portico with a small roof balustrade. Four chimneys can be sen in the photo. The photo is set sometime in winter as snow is on the ground. Trees and surrounding building can be seen in the background. A February 10, 1928 fire effectively burned the Farmington Opera House to the ground. The library and town offices, along with most books, artifacts, and town records, from earlier periods perished in the fire.

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.

Puddledock Press Article 1986 Man & Woman of the Year John Nolan and Phyllis Kuligowski
Description
An account of the resource
A Puddledock Press article from September of 1986 featuring the Man & Woman of the Year, John Nolan and Phyllis Kuligowski. <br /><br />The text of the article reads: <br /><br /><p><em>The First Annual Puddledock Press Man & Woman of the Year contest was certainly a great success. With the choices, you, the voters, have made, we have two well -deserving public worthies reigning for this</em><br /><em> year. Man of the Year, John Nolan, is well known within the commun-ity for his work with our youngsters. His dedication has given kids innovative programs suited for healthy development, which is vital in the growth into productive and responsible adults. Also, John's work in the community as a whole has shown the system of civic input as one way of concerned residents making a difference in the change or improvement of their town.</em></p>
<p><em>Woman of the Year, Phyllis Kuligowski, is also active in community affairs. After twenty-one years of service to the Goodwin Library , Phyllis is retiring. She has been instrumental in the growth and up-</em><br /><em> dating of our Public Library and has instituted such programs as the Children's Reading Hour and the annual Art Exhibition. Phyllis is currently holding an office in the New Durham and Farmington Histori-</em><br /><em> cal Society along with Deaconess of the Congregational Church in town As a co-worker states, "Phyllis is involved in many organizations,but</em><br /><em> does not advertise her civic commitments," She is dedicated and me-ticulous in every endeavor she may fortake, yet, she prefers to re-main "unsung".</em></p>
<p><em>We The Puddledock Staff, would like to congratulate John and Phyllis and thank YOU, the public, for participating!</em></p>
<br /><br />These photos are stored together. They are from different periods of time. Last pulled together for possible use in September 1986. <br /><br />FHS-Kyle Leach
