This album includes approximately fifty images of the Payson Residence, Belmont, Massachusetts (formerly the Cushing Estate). They accompany a typed reminiscence of "Belmont in 1880" by Eleanor Payson Parker (Mrs. Philip Parker, d. circa 1931) recalling the house, grounds, furnishings, and social activities. The author's inscription suggests that the photographs date between 1875-1885. For related photographs of this property see: small photo files; stereo views.
