The following photographs were evidently given by George Cleveland to his sister, Rose, during his visit to Martha's Vineyard in the winter of 1923-4. Click on the images to enlarge. Can you identify something in one of these photos that is not noted - a person, building, location, or event? Please sign the guestbook or contact me.
