This image has been identified as the Thomas "Ancient" Riggs House at 27 Vine Street in Annisquam, although it does not feature the dormer windows seen in other representations. This straight-on view does not provide a very good sense of the dwelling's design. Note a woman with an infant is sitting on the front steps -- a detail that can be seen much more clearly in the original photograph, linked below.Postcard Details
