Item 10: Loom room, Llewsac Lodge, Bedford, Mass.
Scope and Contents
Black-and-white image depicts two women working at looms. Another loom is at the right. Llewsac Lodge was the Bedford branch of the Frances E. Willard settlement in Boston. It served both as a home for needy older women as well as a vacation spot for younger working women from the settlement in Boston. Weaving was one way guests could help pay for their stay at the Lodge. The undivided back postcard suggests a date no later than 1907, but the Bedford property was not purchased until 1909. ca. 1910-1915. 14 x 9 cm.
Format: Postcard.
