Dedication of the Goodnow Memorial Building and Bagg Hall, September 6, 1887

description
  • – A large crowd gathered in front of the First Congregational Church in Princeton, Massachusetts during a day-long ceremony in dedication of the Goodnow Memorial Building and Bagg Hall on September 6, 1887. Pictured in the center with the light top hat is Edward A. Goodnow who donated the Goodnow Memorial Building in memory of his wives and only son, Henry. Goodnow donated the building with the stipulation that the Congregational Church be moved to the east of the common so that the Goodnow Memorial Building would take over the uppermost location of the Common. Goodnow then donated 3,000 dollars to build Bagg Hall, in memory of his first two wives, the Bagg sisters, Harriet Bagg who died in 1833, and Mary Augusta Bagg who died in 1844. Also pictured is the Hon. Charles Russell, Hon. Mr. and Mrs. G.M. Stearns, Rev. Dr. Miner, Dr. Nathan Allen, Hon. C. Thomas Russell, Hon. George F. Hoar. The Princeton Cornet Band who played the music for the grand occasion stands to the left.
