Description |
Copy of a Davis Brothers stereograph depicting the expansion of neighborhoods around Miller Avenue, Portsmouth, NH. Undated. The photograph was taken from the B. F. Webster House on Highland Street. In the foreground, the house under construction is 99 Broad Street on the corner of Highland, which was reportedly constructed in 1882. The image comes from "They Came To Fish" by Ray Brighton, first published in 1973 and revised in 1979 and 1994. In the 1979 edition, the caption was as follows: "This is a view of what was probably Portsmouth's first real housing development -- the opening up of Miller Avenue, Lincoln Avenue and South Street by Frank Miller, the energetic proprietor of The Portsmouth Chronicle." |
