Nunda

It was a chilly day when the Nunda band gathered on West Street for this photograph. In addition to the band members (note the instruments and uniform hats), a crowd of local gentlemen also posed for the photographer. It is not known why the Band was there, but it is clear that the mood was light - look closely at the top row above the drum!

We can get some idea of the date from the building with the porches marked "W. F. Craig". This was orginally Robert Lovell's store, and was moved from the corner of State and Second Street to make way for the GAR Building around 1906.

If you have any information on the identities of any of the people in the photograph, or can give us an idea of the date or event, please contact us!
