In 1850; Haverhill; Massachusetts; was a small mercantile and farming town with slightly fewer than6;000 residents. One half-century later; six times that many people called Haverhill home; and it had become an industrial center ranked as one of the top five shoe producers in the nation. The bustling downtown area featured buildings of uniform red-brick construction; elegant Victorian-style houses and new municipal buildings were erected; and civic pride was very evident. This was Haverhillrsquo;s ldquo;Golden Age.rdquo; Patricia Trainor Orsquo;Malley of Bradford College captures the exuberance and vitality of that era with more than 200 photographs from the Haverhill Public Library Special Collections. Included in this fascinating portrait are some of the oldest-known images of downtown Haverhill from the 1850s and 1860s.

Great pictoral historyBy Lisa DaelIf you ever went to Ohio University or grew up in Athens. then youll love this walk down memory lane. I was a little disappointed that there was not more of a historical narrative. but the photographs are all labeled in great detail and really offer a nice picture of the history of this town.
