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.

Interior of the Goodnow Memorial Building, c1880s
description- – View from behind the circulation desk of the library located in the East portion of the Goodnow Memorial Building in Princeton, Massachusetts, ca. 1880s. Books from the Ladies Reading Society and the Princeton Agricultural Society formed the collection for the library in 1883-4. Only the librarian was allowed to take the books from the shelves. Note the spiral staircase to the clock tower and the stained glass entry into the Reading Room. The Reading Room was later dedicated to the first Librarian, Susan Davis, who worked here from 1884-1929. The high chair shown in the middle of the picture is still used by librarians today in the Princeton Public Library in the Goodnow Memorial Building.
