Photograph of Bridge from Sandas Point, circa 1895

This black and white photograph was provided by Glenn Berger and is believed to have been taken around 1895. It shows people enjoying a swim near a horse and cart in the water. All are beside a bridge from Sandas Point on the west shore of Spectacle Pond to the east shore near Cricket Lane. Glenn says that "Cliff Day, who used to live in the log cabin in the east half of the lake on Hazard Way right on the point, gave this picture to us several years ago."
