General

Although the identity of this garden has not been positively confirmed, the mansard-roofed building in the far distance of the image may be the same one shown in a period view of North Street from Bridge Street found on the digitalcommonwealth.org website. That building would have been in the line of sight from the back end of the Peirce-Nichols House garden. In addition, the rough fencing at the end of the garden and beyond is consonant with its location bordering a railroad and commercial area.
