St. Peter's Church & Rectory
& Second School House on Shenandoah Street
Lower Town, Harpers Ferry, circa 1895.
This photograph was taken from the area of Loudoun Heights, across the River from Harpers Ferry. St. Peter's Church, with its central white steeple, stands in the upper right of this image, with the Rectory to its left. The second School House is visible in this photo. It is the top-most building along the left margin. This School House was located on the north side of Shenandoah Street.
Source: This image was likely taken in 1895, and was definitely made sometime before 1896, when St. Peter's Church was renovated, and after 1892, when alterations were made to the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks visible elsewhere in the photograph (Snell 1959a: 116-17; Harpers Ferry Nat'l Hist'l Park Archive, Photograph No. HF-0099).
