Mystery photo

July 25, 1953, was a red-letter night in the history of Concord – the first time the ConcordElectric Co. illuminated bright electric lights that replaced the far dimmer gas lights on Main Street.

The lights will be even brighter this Friday with the opening of Downtown Market Days. Today's mystery photo quiz: Where was the photographer standing when he took the picture?

Look for an answer in an upcoming Insider. Check out concordhistoricalsociety.org if you can't wait.

This photograph, provided by Concord Electric, will be published this fall in “Crosscurrents of Change: Concord, N.H. in the 20th Century.”
