Historical Photo: Then and Now

The answer is the Mudge Estate, where the First Church in Swampscott, Congregational, stands today at 40 Monument Ave. Paul Sherry was the first person to correctly answer the question.

Paul Sherry of Swampscott was the first person to correctly identify this Swampscott place, but several others wrote in with correct answers, as well.

Congratulations, Paul. 

Most people emailed their responses because their answers were not showing up on the homepage. We will look into this and ready for our next Then and Now contest by posting  another photograph of a historic house or location on Saturday.
