View across the valley from Prospect Street towards East
Main Street In the middle of the image through the valley flows the
Nashua River spanned by the trestle for the Massachusetts Central
Railroad on the far right. On the hill above the valley from left to right are
the Baptist (Old Stone) Church, St. Anthony's Church, and the rectory.

for the Town was housed on the first floor. Note that clearing has
begun in the valley to make way for the Wachusett Reservoir. Circa
1895-1905.
