Description

Sepia postcard showing the Parsons Camp, the home of Ralph Moran (1912-2007) house and the sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: 'Parsons Camp, Worthington, Mass.' (#79). Thrasher was the son of George M. and Hattie Lyman Thrasher. Guy Thrasher was his brother. The sample book was produced during the 1920s when H. B. Thrasher was living and working in Florida. The images are undated but are probably quite a bit earlier, ca. 1915 or so.

The house, was a kit house, 1923 is on the fireplace. It was purchased by the town. After a decade of discussion and efforts to find new uses for the property, the building was demolished during the fall of 2018.
