The OLD MILL in the early decades of the 1900s:
These photographs of the Old Mill and Mill Pond were taken by Edward Lee Luce (1897-1950) of West Tisbury. The photographs were likely taken in the early decades of the 1900's. Mr. Luce used glass plates (negatives) to take these photographs. The photographs reside in the Basil Welsh Collection at the Martha's Vineyard Museum. Basil Welsh collected Edward Lee's photographs, and he and his family donated them to the Martha's Vineyard Museum. See below for more information.
