Frequently we share a different historic image on the Essex on Lake Champlain Facebook page and invite our viewers to play some Vintage Essex Trivia.
Check out this vintage postcard! What do you recognize? What do you see that has changed? When do you think this photo dates to?
Here is what the community had to say:
Dianne B Lansing: I think it was taken in front of George and Susan Davis. Nice that they had sidewalks; the hitching posts are too far from the road to be useful.
Ken Hughes: I love the shade of those trees. What a difference it makes in framing the road.
Todd Goff: Note the gable end of a structure between the lodge and the yellow house recently known as art gallery/halpin/bailey. It’s gone today.
This postcard was mailed. Take a look at the back side of it below. The postage date looks like 1942.
