Cliff Street Party Early 1900's
Then....
Well, someone had a lot of friends!! This lawn party on Cliff Street seemed to attract all the beach residents...we do not know what the occasion was, but it sure looks like a fun time. We think that the photo was taken about 1910 or so. If we put it in the family context, Anna Field Vatter rented "Mrs. Lord's cottage" on Ashton St as early as 1910 and owned 3 Cliff St from 1921 to 1924. If she became part of the Higgins Beach community, it seems logical that the photo dates to 1910 or a bit later.
Now....
Pretty Hard to replicate that scene!!!
