Notes

This house is in a country-like setting, with geese in the yard, although there is a denser development behind it. There is a mountain in the background which could be Mount Tom. If that is the case, then this house could be in the Aldenville or Fairview section of Chicopee, South Hadley Falls, or Holyoke. The terrain where the house stands is hilly itself.

One clue could be that there is a sidewalk in front of this house, which would mean that although the neighborhood appears rural, it was probably designed to be much denser than it appears, and may be a very built-out neighborhood in the present.
