Description
In the photo are the Morse buildings, the Elm House and Coburn Hall.
Two sleighs of antiquated design stand in front of the blacksmith shop and a wheel vehicle, evidently an old Concord wagon, is almost near enough to be included in this group. Two buildings at the left, this side of the Eaton blacksmith shop, are said to have been moved from the Coburn Hall lot. John McCrillis, a cobbler, occupied one of them for a time.
