24 Summer Street, the William E. Barton house (1884)
From 1940 into the 21st Century, this was the home of Ervin Langmaid and his wife Mary Barton.
This photo was taken in 1891. William B. Barton wrote that his mother, Mrs. William E. Barton was standing in the door. Her maiden name was Mary A. McCarthy. Sitting on the top steps are William J. Barton and Theresa Jane Barton. The little boy sitting on the lower step was Benny Ellsworth, who died as a child.
