Help

One of the Exhibits I am working on is 30 Years of Wooden Miniatures. Each year we sell three wooden miniatures of buildings around the county. I am researching the history of each building and trying to find photos of each building to use for the exhibit.

The buildings that I cannot find good photos of are:

1. Cranberry Lake Presbyterian Church
2. The Doane-Roberts House in DeKalb really Richville
3. Old First National Bank of Gouverneur
4. Hammond Presbyterian Church
5. The New York Central Depot at Massena Springs
6. The United States Hotel in Massena Springs
7. Pickens Hall in Heuvelton
8. Pierrepont Brick School
9. The Constant Wells House in Pitcairn
10. Rossie Hotel
11. The Parish Agency House in Parishville
12. The Old Brasher and Stockholm High School

I found some in some books but it was hard to get them scanned so I could use them in the exhibit. Also I scanned some postcards of some and when I printed the scan out it was hard to see. I hope you guys can help me.

Introduction

Hi my name is Adam. I am a volunteer at the St. Lawrence Co. Historical Association. I will be the main person behind this blog for a while. I am at the Association each Thurs and Fridays and some Saturdays. I am planning on scanning some photos from our collection to share with you sometime in April probably after Easter.

I am also going to ask you guys for help sometime like when I am working on an exhibit and I have trouble with finding information or photos I will ask you for help. I will also ask for your help when we have trouble figuring out what an artifact is. Another thing we will ask you guys is to figure out who someone is in a photograph if we do not know etc.
