Whipple House and Jones Library
Libraries
Amherst (Mass.)
Photograph taken from in front of the Whipple House on North Pleasant Street. The Jones Library operations moved into this house two days after the disastrous fire that destroyed the Amherst House in December of 1926. The elliptical window (barely visible) on the house was incorporated into the new Jones Library building. Note the Jones Library sign on the front of the house. The Whipple House was razed to make room for construction of the new fire station.
Seen in the background is the recently constructed Jones Library building. The cornerstone for this building was a 900 pound slab salvaged from the Amherst House and was laid on October 19, 1927.
