Today we have a carefully posed shot with boys sprinkled like raisins in a currant bun and a man, a teacher perhaps, sitting on a tree! In the background is what appears to be an enormous institutional type of building. I will be interested to see if we can identify this one...

....and indeed O Mac was relatively quick off the mark identifying the building as Saint Senan's Psychiatric Hospital, County Wexford. Also known as "Enniscorthy District Lunatic Asylum for the Insane Poor of Mind", it was opened in the 1860s, and there's a suggestion that this image was taken in the first decade(s) of its operation.

Federal Building in Keene New Hampshire

TITLE
Federal Building in Keene New Hampshire

CREATOR
Wardwell, Anne, Keene NH

SUBJECT
Post offices - NH - Keene

DESCRIPTION
"Perhaps the most successful modern building constructed on the street, the Federal Building is impressive for its design, size, and the excellent landscaping. Here is a monumental building which blends into the Main Street rows. The motif of the porch supports, although concrete, echos many of the wooden porches seen throughout the city."
