Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1798 17 Playstead Road

Dorchester Illustration of the Day no. 1798

 

Today we have a stereoview of a scene at Savin Hill – note that the picture itself says “Savern Hill.”  Stereoview cards were placed in a holder with lenses, so that when the viewer looked through them, the pictures would merge, producing a 3-d effect.

The house is the 1855 Daniel Denny House at 17 Playstead Road.
