Bridge in East Florenceville
Item - [ca.1905]
P11\68
Originally known as Buttermilk Creek, the community of Florenceville was renamed in 1855 during the Crimean War to mark the contributions of nursing pioneer Florence Nightingale (1820-1910). At the extreme left, the long white sided home belonged to Frank Smith and Harry Smith, father and son, roughly on the grounds where the McCains plant would later be built. On the centre of the photo there are a group of barns in a field, these belonged to Harry Burnham, at the right hand where the thick line of trees enters (just above the Burnham barns) may be the homestead of Milo Clark. Just at the end of the bridge the tall white building on the far right of the street was Jim Davis's store. This shot depicts the bridge before any section of it was covered.
