Can you identify this house? The photo was taken by Will Triplett around 1900. He didn't write the location of the house in his notes.
If you can imagine the difficulties faced in 2010 to remove heavy snow from village streets and sidewalks, imagine the task in 1900. This was a "school closed" day in Bluffton.
To better appreciate the photo, Triplett lugged some pretty equipment around, just to take this photo. He walked to the scene to take this photo, then walked to his studio, then developed the photograph. An all-afternoon chore for one photo. We hope he was able to sell the photo to the house owner.
We believe the task was well-worth the effort.
