🏛️✨Collection Highlight!

We’ve had this book for a while, but it recently underwent an indexing project by one of our Research Center volunteers! Ed utilized our vast collection of city directories to determine the addresses of most of the houses pictured in this book, "Art Work of Manchester." The book was published in 1892 by the W.H. Parish Publishing Co. and contains several images of the Queen City!

Come check it out at the MHA Research Center on Amherst Street!

A view of the left side of the Gale Home, at 133 Ash Street. Mary Green Ayer Gale provided in her will for an endowment that would be used for the creation of a home for older females. The Gale Home opened in 1893 in a wooden building on this site, but was later demolished. This large Colonial Revival brick building was completed in 1906.

The Union published an article on July 13, 1908, writing that "It is a beautiful home, roomy within and having ample piazzas; it has accomodations for forty old ladies and is equipped with every convenience."

The Gale Home was redeveloped as the Gale Home Apartments from 2003 to 2005, by the Manchester Housing and Redevelopment Authority. They added two wings and doubled the building's size to provide 37 additional units, along with other senior services.
