There is no Union City in Maine, there is a Union. Maine does have a sense of humor about such places, we refer to Greenwood as Greenwood City in my part of Maine and it has a pop. of about 800. I sent a copy of the scan to an old history teacher friend(baseball fan as well). His initial feeling that it was taken in the Augusta area outside of a boarding house that catered to migratory workers and their families. I'll be going home for the Labor Day weekend and will spend a day searching the area.

The hunt baby, the hunt ... that's where it's at.
Shawn, when you mentioned Union City, I automatically thought of Union City, NJ. During the Civil war period, the North was naming everything Union something. Go for it Rawn. Go for it Shawn. Now that'swhat I call a UNION.

Hey Rawn,
You are absolutely correct. I mis-spoke when I said "Union City".... Those two words just seem to go together. What I was trying to say is Union, Maine. I apologize for any headaches I may have caused by this  Also, you can see more of Henrys photos by searching "j. henry allen". I think the guy was quite talented! Again, sorry...

I apologize for hijacking this thread, but I think this is the very type of thing this thread is talking about. All it takes is one post and you never know what you may find...
Here is a listing from google books in a almanac for "J. Henry Allen", perhaps it can help? Dated 1881-1882 I have also attached a link to a beautiful photo of a sailboat taken by Henry.  http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fi...enry_Allen.png

refreshing
How refreshing to read a thread without any mention of elite collectors or seas of mediocrity or downgrading fellow colectors because they don't or can't collect only high grade material. That's what this board is supposed to be all about and reading the posts like the one from fellow long time collector Jim Hatch who I had many great swaps and deals with is truly great
 To all you lurkers out there, especially those who collect cards for the love of it, don't ever hesitate to post or put your scans up in the pickup thread.

Really sharp photo.
It's been a while since I was in Union, Maine....and, cannot recall any "Rural House". Looks like a really old photo, so the Rural House is most likely gone. But, I do remember the annual Fair held in Union. A lot of nice folk, a lot of fun, and a lot of good food. TED Z
