Historic Photos of Brewster

In 1970 Beulah Doane gifted her son Donald Doane’s collection of over 400 turn-of-the-century photographic glass plate negatives to The Brewster Historical Society. The images are predominantly of Brewster, taken between 1887 and 1914, some by Caro A. Dugan, great granddaughter of Brewster shipmaster Elijah Cobb, and some by Cornelius Chenery, a frequent boarder in the Cobb’s Brewster home.
