(now) the East Bethel Road in front of the Old Dorm

The photo shows the furnishings from the Maplewood “fire” not flood. You can find this same photo with more detail on page 49 of Wes Herwig’s Early Photographs of Randolph, Vermont.

WDeFlorio Thank you Bill.

That's Mason road, heading towards Braintree. Big white barn was taken down decades ago.

Camden Walters Thanks Camden.

Looks like the picture was taken at this bank

O Mac Looks as if the stonework was cleaned between yours in 1922, and today's in 1925.

And where is it?

Gladstone St.

30 April 1925 was a Thursday ...

Seated to our left, Paul Scully:

And I think that is his future wife Ellen Ryan behind him.

Niall McAuley Nellie. Do you think so? I spotted Paul, but wasn't sure about her. I think the mad sculpted hairstyle was all I was seeing.

Unfortunately can't search the 1926 census by profession yet, although the forms capture more employment info than the 1901/11 forms do.

Nicely done! 👍

There's a pastor of the Imperial Beach Methodist Church with this name.

A Bouncing Betty?

Mr. Hanson may have lived in Coronado at one time. (That's all I've got.)

Possibly Eric S. Hueckstedt who may have owned a temp agency in Escondido? May also have worked at Auburn, Washington plant?

Mr. Jones worked at Rohr for 35 years.

Please add it to the tags if you know the journalist's name or the name of the reflector holder.

? the big green house next to the cemetery on South Pleasant St. Possibly was a creamery?

WDeFlorio I think you're right. Slightly different windows and doors but the rest fits as well as the carts/creamery.

Thanks Txemari. (Navarra).. We will update the description in the catalog record.

Niall McAuley Finally after 12 years of intense research I think I've found the answer to what and where that black tower in the distance was.... Joke... I stumbled on this yesterday.
It was originally a clock tower that stood at the Royal University on Earlsfort Terrace which was taken down and re-erected on Kildare St (1914/18) where it is seen above. Ive yet to find out what became of it after.

It was originally a clock tower that stood at the Royal University on Earlsfort Terrace which was taken down and re-erected on Kildare St (1914/18) where it is seen above. I've attached a fascinating history of the tower, it's clock and bells below.

When the tower was taken down around 1915 the bell which was originally cast and which hung in the GPO for 60 years was removed and brought to St Cronans church at Balla, Co Mayo where it still is to this day.

I believe this is a dual, frequency modulation receiver strip. Two receivers. Guess: it may be a primitive airborne radar.

Forrest and Sons were in their Grafton St shop in 1907

Mr. Jones started at Rohr in 1982.

There appears to be another Greg Peters who was hired in 1997 when Goodrich took over Rohr.

Exceptional Work 🌟 Thank You for Sharing

We've deffo met some of these men [assuming they're mostly men at that time!] over the years. Chief Justice to start with. Hugh Kennedy could certainly afford his suits and bowler hats on £4,000...

beachcomber australia £247,876.65 according to the Bank of England inflation calculator

“Senior Irish government ministers earn a gross annual salary of roughly €212,858, which is a combination of the basic TD salary and a ministerial top-up. The Taoiseach earns approximately €251,261 annually, while the Tánaiste earns €231,768. Junior ministers earn between €164,427 and €177,969 depending on Cabinet attendance”

So, in 1932, a minister earned £1700, worth £105,347 today (BoE inflation calculater) equal to €122,100

That’s 1-3/4 more than back then

Not too shabby

Must be early 1932, as on February 16, 1932, Fianna Fáil won the general election, unseating W.T. Cosgrave's Cumann na nGaedheal.

Don’t forget that at the time the world was in a global depression, in June we were to enter a trade war with Britain, resulting in an agricultural recession.

Weekly wages:
Skilled Industrial Workers (Printers, Builders, Mechanics): 30 to 45 shillings (£1.50 to £2.25).
Unskilled Factory & Road Workers: 20 to 26 shillings (£1.00 to £1.30).
State Relief Work (Land Commission Schemes): 22 shillings flat (£1.10).
Agricultural & Farm Labourers: 15 to 21 shillings (£0.75 to £1.05). Farm hands were the lowest-paid demographic in the country.
Female Shop Assistants & Domestic Servants: 7 to 20 shillings (£0.35 to £1.00). A "Plain Cook" earned about 20 shillings, while retail "shop girls" experienced intense wage exploitation, sometimes making under 10 shillings a week.

No wonder that Civil Service jobs were chased by school leavers

Meanwhile, up North, unemployment was rampant, severe industrial decline caused the cash-strapped Stormont government to slash all public-sector worker pay and unemployment benefits by 10%, resulting in the historic Outdoor Relief Riots in Belfast that October

Tough times indeed

Suck Diesel Thanks for the date narrowing!

Sweden, at the time, had a declared policy of neutrality. When Soviet submaries were found in their territorial waters, there was a big debate about what to do. (The Soviet Navy evetually received some depth charges.)

Also, their power was based on defense and not on power projection. So their military was structured to "beat the pie" out of an attacker but was not set up to invade another country.

This photo may have the easiest-to-read badge in the entire Rohr archive. Mr. Bennett was said to have started working at Rohr in 1965.

Congrats on Xplore!!

A great scene overall. This may very well be my personal favorite today.

Nice!

This is beautifully captured and it's a pleasure to view. Faved 🌟 Congrats on Explore 📷✨ Have a nice day 👍

Congrats on Explore! ⭐ June 10, 2026

Congratulations on making Explore - what a well-deserved spotlight! This image, with its noir-perfect composition, the lone figure tucked into the leather backseat, trench coat and hat pulled down just so, feels like a slice of cinematic Sydney at night. You've captured mood, story and atmosphere in a single frame - effortless style and timeless storytelling. Beautiful work - keep making photos that make us want to step into their world.

Great shot, congratulations on Explore !

Great photo - I love it.

Excellent photo!

I show John A. McCormick is correct. Mr. McCormick previously worked with Northrop in Ventura, California.

Check out that ink. You are badass there Corpsman! Please accept that as a compliment. No disrespect intended. I know it's f'ing hotter'n hell. Humidity, Is it Ty-Yup, it's Typhoon Season. You're busy doing the cleanup.
My mailman is 5 years from P.I. and he's a proud American citizen, now! He's teaching his 10-y.o. son how to safely fire a pistol on a friends range (farm.) And we stand around and have a smoke around Noon each day after he does the mail here.
Keep winning those hearts & minds. You know you are making a big a BIG DIFFERENCE, right?
You gotta know that!

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Academy_of_Music_(Milwaukee)
"Academy of Music was a theater in Milwaukee, Wisconsin located at what is today 611–625 N. Milwaukee Street. Built in 1864–1865, the theatre opened as Music Hall on January 31, 1865. Its name was changed to the Academy of Music four years later. In the 19th century it operated as Milwaukee's primary venue for opera and concerts. It was later leased by the Shubert family and re-branded the Shubert Theatre in 1906. It continued as a venue for plays as part of The Shubert Organization until 1922 when it briefly operated as an unsuccessful movie theatre before closing. It was converted into a retail and office space building known as the Pioneer Building, opening under that name in May 1926. It was acquired by Levin Properties, Inc. in 2000. Levin unsuccessfully attempted to repurpose that building as a center for telecommunications in the early 2000s. It was subsequently acquired by Milwaukee Nowi LLC, and demolished in 2012 to make way for the Milwaukee Marriott Downtown hotel."

The text under ACADEMY reads "Thanhouser Company."

Ms. Elaine K. Mills was elected Assistant Secretary of the Corporation by the Board of Directors 08/18/1989. Her earlier title was Corporate Records Administrator.

McKechnie was named General Manager of the Arkadelphia, Arkansas Plant, then under construction, in 1987. The plant was to specialize in superplastic forming processes. He worked in hyrdoforming at the Chula Vista Plant at the time he was tapped.

There were delays opening the plant and a GM from Foley, Alabama plant was assigned to the role in 1993. According to newspaper accounts, the plant never opened.

No data on Mr. MacCree were found.

Convair recruiting photo. 😄

Mr. Warters (1940-2007) worked at Rohr for 33 years.

In April 1988, he was promoted to, "...director of program management. He is responsible for Rohr’s General Electric, McDonnell Douglas MD-11 pylon, quiet nacelle and 727 reengining programs. An Allegany, N.Y. native who now lives in Chula Viste, Warters also joined Rohr in 1965. He earned his B.S. in aeronautical engineering from Tri-State University in Angola, Ind."

Source (quted text): "Three Named to New Jobs," National City Star-News, 04/07/1988.

Mr. Watson may have been Vice President and General Manager of Rohr's Riverside Plant in 1989. He may have been Senior Vice President for Customer Support and Business Development in 1994.

This is an excellent example of the photographs Lindt took to make up the album, which is of great social and historical significance, but that's not the title of the album.

Interesting. Mr Lindt's Wikipedia has this (originally from the Grafton Argus of 16/11/1974) ...

" ... "No. 6 is a group of natives comprising "King Charley", of Ulmarra, with his mother and gin; "King Charley" has the brass crescent plate round his neck which is used to denote his rank, and the war implements consisting of "boomerang," "nulla-nulla," "heliman," and "spear" are introduced together with a collection of "dilly-bags" and other appliances of domestic use." "

So many beauties.

Perhaps Sisters of St. Vincent de Paul?

St Vincent's Convent of Mercy is on Francis Street in Galway City.

And can anyone work out what the additional word is, above the main calligraphy?

National Library of Ireland on The Commons That picture looks like it was taken at the back of St Nicholas' Collegiate Church, just a few streets away from The Mercy Convent. The parish is St. Nicholas South and West, Galway city according to the NLI parish registers.

Anne McGinley Thanks Anne.
