The Marblehead Current is proud to partner with photographer and historian Dan Dixey, who regularly shares photos of Marblehead from his extensive collection, along with information about each shot.
The Soldiers and Sailors Monument was originally dedicated at the intersection of Elm, Green and Mugford streets in 1876. It is seen in this photo being moved up Brown Street (now Creesy Street) in May 1913 to its current location in Memorial Park between Pleasant and Essex streets. The move took five days and was done by Frank Goodwin and his crew. In the background is the Humphrey and Paine Shoe Factory at the intersection of Lincoln Avenue and Green Street. This glass negative was probably taken by Fred Litchman.
