Salem, Mass., circa 1910. "Salem Witch Museum (former East Church), 19½ Washington Square." Be sure to stop by our gift shop's exclusive boo-tique. 8½ x 6½ inch glass negative, Detroit Publishing Company. View full size.
The towers were lowered rather than being rebuilt around 1925. It did not become the Witch Museum until 1972. Interesting history of church here.
Probably lowered so the Witches wouldn't crash into them while flying their brooms.
19 1/2 North Washington Square. I wonder why they lowered those towers?
Anyone know what those scars around the tree trunks are from?
