NotesConstituent Note: Some photographs in this collection bear the imprint of the Northern Survey Company.Subject Note: Several villages in Connecticut were formerly known as Westfield, but it seems unlikely any of them retained that name as late as the 1880s. The Westfield depicted in this photograph may be in Massachusetts.
