Photograph of a View looking east on First Street from Hill Street, showing Nadeau Hotel on right, 1884. A dirt road can be seen from the center foreground into the background. Brick buildings of various heights can be seen throughout. Almost all have flat roofs, and a flag can be seen flying from Nadeau Hotel to the right of center. Utility poles and trees are interspersed throughout, while open land can be seen in the background. Photonegative reads, "Given to Chamber of Commerce November 8, 1930 by Mrs. Eva Naomi Blair, Portsmouth Hotel, 5161 1/2 South Hill Street". Please note that despite the information from the note attached to the photograph, it was likely taken from the Highland Villa and features a view from First and Hill Streets. The photograph's dominant structure is the Hotel Nadeau, while the Natick House can be seen further east on First and Main Streets. The photograph features the following buildings: De Turk's Livery, Feed & Sale Stable (built before 1880), it's a larger building at lower left, on the north-west corner of First Street and Broadway; Hotel Nadeau (1882-1931), a large building in right center, located at the south-west corner of First & Spring Streets; Larronde Block (built in 1883), located across First Street from Nadeau Hotel, on the north-west corner with Spring Street. Schumacher Block (1880-circa 1931), to the left of the Larronde Block, on Spring Street. Natick House (built in 1883), to the left of Nadeau, on the south-west corner of First & Main Streets; Pithian Castle Block (built in 1877)can be seen directly above Schumacher Block, with tall, narrow windows, located on Spring Street just north of First Street.
