Brook FarmDescription
This monochrome photo postcard captures a serene, snowy landscape with houses partially obscured by trees. The Brook Farmhouse is on top of the far hill as seen from Main Street. The address side of the "Brook Farmhouse as seen from Main Street" postcard features handwritten text that provides details about the photo on the other side, mentioning a "house on hill" - then the residence of C. B. Wood, Oak Ridge Farm as seen from Main St. The handwriting is cursive and slightly faded, suggesting age, and the postcard itself appears worn, with visible creases and a textured surface. Latter notes written circa 1965 up-side-down note the place was then called Brook [Farm], and owned by the Kreigers.Subject Person/Organization
