Syracuse: Loring & Green, Photographers, 64 - 66 So. Salina St., Syracuse, N.Y., 1871, large format albumen photograph, measuring 12 ½ x 14 ¼ inches, on card stock mount, with printed text, identifying the house, and with the photographer’s credit. The mount measures 17 ½ x 20 ⅝ inches. Some spotting, soiling, and wear to edges of mount, some abrasions to corners and lower edge of the image, else in good condition.
The photograph shows the
apparently newly built residence of G. B. Kent, at 91 James Street. The Kent
family stands on the front porch and in the front yard, enclosed by a wrought
iron fence, a church is located next door. None of these structures appear to
be extant at present, likely demolished to make way for the elevated highways bisecting
Syracuse.
