Andover Fourth of July Parade, 1898

Pause for a photo on Poplar Street

June 23, 2015 • Saved under History
An Andover Fourth of July parade pauses for a photo on Poplar Street, sometime around 1898. The photo was taken by Elbert D. Currier, whose photography building appears in the background (the striped building, which is actually a large trailer). It sits about where the old firehouse sits now. The man standing in the sailboat is E.D. Currier’s brother Harry. Can you identify any other people in this photo? If you can, please let the Beacon know. Today, Cindy Benson lives in the house on the left; Grace Stetson lived in the house on the right until she moved to Havenwood; the Andover Lions Club uses the old firehouse for its Lions Den; and the Southworths live in the house at the end with the porch columns, where Harry and E.D., great-uncles to Charlotte Clark, grew up.
