Description
Set of 7 aerial photographs of Old Town by Fairchild Aerial Surveys of 21-21 41st Avenue, Long Island City 1, N. Y., together with an index to exposures. The name of the company is stamped on the back with the date and a code "8722 - #" at the top of each photograph. The index of exposures (in duplicate) is a map showing the overlay of the photos. The set is incomplete, as it only contains photos 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 14. Together these photos do cover Old Town (village), Great Works, French Island, and part of Indian Island. Most likely part of a Tax Valuation Project commissioned by the City of Old Town in 1947 (see Penobscot Times, September 24, 1948, p.1).
