• Is this photo is taken near the Quincy dispensary / doctor's residence? Note the white picket fence to and company housing. Looks like late fall as trees have few leaves on the them and there are many leaves on the ground.

• Yes, that is the back of Quincy Shaft #7, with Rockhouse #4 directly adjacent to it. The picture was taken from a point very close to the Quincy school. Photo circa 1912.

• The white picket fence is very close to where Captain maunder's residence was. His daughter now lives there.
