Houses and Barns

Three sepia postcard from sample book of Herbert Berniss Thrasher (1884-1927), photographer. Titled: 'Pine Brook Farm, Worthington, Mass.' (#32), ‘ Pine Brook Farm, Worthington, Mass.‘. (#33) and "Pine Brook Farm. Worthington, Mass.' (#34).

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. 1910-1915 or so.

One card shows the front view, south face of house purchased in 1932 by Alberie Albert and used as headquarters for his potato farm. 311 Huntington Road. The barn in the photograph has since burned. Two women in pants are playing croquet on the lawn, while two others are watching from the shaded area on the left. The other cards shows the home from the front, with several people sitting on the porch. The view would show the west face of the house.
