Description

Two sepia postcards: "'The Cascades' A beautiful view on the Worthington Road. South Worthington, Mass. I the Heart of the Dear Old Berkshires." The second is from the Thrasher sample book titled 'Gleneyrie' A Beautiful view on the Worthington Road, South Worthington, In the Heart of he Dear Old Berkshire Hills' (#86)

Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927) 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. 1910-1915 or so.

Both postcards are identical and show house along Rte 112 looking south; the home, much changed, has been owned since September 1964 by the Schrade family. At the time this picture was taken, the house was owned by Ella and Ephraim Anable. The house was built around 1810.
