Identify This
Georgen Gilliam Charnes
The Nantucket Historical Association houses the most complete visual record of Nantucket history in existence. The image here is from our collections, and may be one we cannot identify, wish for more information about or just want to see if people can identify. Many more images are available for viewing and identification at www.nha.org.

If you know the location of where this photograph was taken, email: georgen@nha.org or call 508.228.1894, ext. 301, by Friday noon. Last week's image has been identified as Hayden's Popcorn Stand, on the corner of S. Water and Oak Streets, between the Dreamland and Water Street restaurant; in the background is the Sanford House, later torn down to make way for the Town Building. The consensus is that "A.O." stands for "Atlantic Ocean," although the suggestion "American Occupation" is good too (thank you, Queen Catherine!). Identifiers include: Charley Walters, John McLaughlin, Susan Beaupré Kish (from Switzerland), Chris Gordon, Barry Thurston, Augie Ramos, Trisha Murphy, Tuki Attapreyangkul, Robert Young, Nancy Newhouse, Dick Starr, Pat Larrabee, Catherine Stover, Robert Sylvia, Kim Tonkin, Dick Brooks, Eileen McGrath, Ray Moore, Don Walker, Jane Kelly, Grace Yates, Joseph Topham, Mark Williams, Phil Bartlett, Beth English, Julie Reinemo, Elizabeth Sanderson, and a couple of people who didn't leave their names. If you'd like to read more about Arthur Hayden, see the new Historic Nantucket, coming out in January.
