Bird's Eye View - Bristol, Vermont


This RPPC is a view of where I live, Bristol, Vermont, taken from the ledge on Hogback Mountain or Deerleap Mountain, between 1914 and 1916.
The president of the Bristol Historical Society, Reg. Dearborn, was so helpful in giving me extra information about this postcard, which I bought online. Below are some of his comments:
"I was able to date picture because the Drake-Farr Block that burned in 1914 was located on corner of Main & South Street is missing. The Lathrop Block that replaced Drake-Farr and is there today wasn’t built until 1916. (I have attached a marked up picture with location.) [Below]
I believe what you are seeing in picture behind Main St. are the lumber piles for the Coffin Factory. (I had thought it was an encampment of some sort.) There was also 2 tenement house for the factory located there. These were located across the river between South St. and Basin St."
I can see my house in this photo, (built in 1879).Back towards the lumber piles, on the left corner is a small field. In the left hand corner of that field is a white blob. My house!
Below is Reg's marked up photo and below that, a photo of Bristol, taken from Deerleap, 2003.
