Item #1122
7.25” x 10.75” photo album with 49 leaves, 86 pages in use, one page is missing half and one page is detached. There are over 300 photos of various sizes in the album, mostly held to the page with corner tabs. A few photos are detached and about 20 photos are missing.
The album dates from the late 1910s to the early 1920s and appears to have belonged to a young woman who likes to hang out with her friends. There are several photos of affectionate women, a mock wedding, family photos and there are five photos from the corner laying ceremony in 1922 of the Cortland Normal school. The school was destroyed by a fire in 1919 and was rebuilt in 1922. The photos show Mr Bowers, Mr. Cornish and Dr. DeGroat, all associated with the school, at the corner laying ceremony. The school is now known as the State University of New York at Corland.
A few photos are annotated and there are two wedding announcements for Lois McInerney, though I do not know if she is the one that put this album together.
The album is in good overall condition.
