Look who we found trying to create a love connection on Craigslist

We warned you that last week’s classic Concord photo was going to be a tough one, but even we didn’t know how tough it would be. Turns out, the photo (which we saw at Depot Antique & Toys) was mislabeled – that building isn’t even in Concord! Eagle-eyed reader (and former Concord resident) Dan Cleveland recognized it right away. Cleveland told us he was on the Concord High School chess team (class of ‘66!) and that, as the best public high school chess team in New England, they often found themselves travelling to various prep schools for matches. One such school was Phillips Academy in Andover, Mass. – home of the building seen above, which was called the Fifth Main Academy Building. Good work, Dan! Check back next week for another classic photo.

Reader Earl Burroughs sent us this classic Concord photo of buildings between Pleasant and Warren Street, circa a bunch of years ago (note: era approximate). And my how times have changed – you just can’t find good places to get varnishes, phosphate and tinware downtown these days.

Here we have White’s Opera House, which was also the home to the Daily Patriot, according to the sign out front that says, Daily Patriot (we’re nothing if not investigative reporters). It also apparently featured Moving Pictures, which we presume was an advertisement for movies and not a business where people came to your house and shuffled your photos around. Thanks to reader Earl Burroughs for the picture.
