Post Card Picture of Winthrop Beach Before & After

This picture was taken in 1869 from Summit Avenue Highlands. The small building on shore is a life-boat house. The first group of buildings stood at what is now Shirley Street, near Moore. The third group stood on the site of the Colonial Inn. The small point showing at the hill is the cupola at Deer Island. Some of the buildings are now standing. If a magnifying glass is used, much of the detail can be brought out.
