More about this scene
Opposite the Post Office a precipitous flight of 111 stone steps scales the hill from the town's square to Vernon Place. It was built in the 1830s by the builder and tallow-chandler Jacob Hamblen to create a direct, if somewhat exhausting, route between his shop and house.

I believe that my grandparents, Walter Otho Pearce and Liley Pearce, may be two of the people in this photo. My grandfather had a corn and forage shop and store just by Jacobs ladder at that time. My grandparents would have been quite newly married and lived nearby when the photo was taken.
