For your consideration is a nice stereoview titled \"Oliver Ames Villa, Cottage City\". This is a great view of the front of the very elaborate cottage. The view (#7) was photographed and published by R.G. Shute, Edgartown, Mass. There is overall light soiling and the images are a bit light. Please view the enlargeable scans carefully and contact me with any questions.
