Notes

This house is a foursquare house which is relatively common in Holyoke. The postmark makes it likely to be in Holyoke. A number is visible above the porch stairs, it may be #59, however visual inspection of houses with that number in Holyoke do not turn up a match. The house is different from many Holyoke foursquares in that it has a bay window on the right side, and has a concrete block foundation (a Holyoke trait).
