Another photograph of the Pilgrim House in Provincetown, Massachusetts. From the late 1800′s.

I think it’s the same photographer as the last one I posted. Now instead of focus problems, we have distance problems. He pulled back too far.

pilgrim house provincetown massachusetts ma mass history photograph

 

A photo of the Pilgrim House,  Provincetown Massachusetts.  I think it’s 1880′s -1890′s. 

There’s a Pilgrim House still active in Provincetown.   I can’t find a photo of the modern version so i’m not sure it’s the same building.

Apparently, the photographer was still learning his trade…..
