c 1870 Foot Ball Game Stereoview



              C.1870 American "Foot Ball Game" stereoview  (Kicking Game / Association Foot Ball). Keene, New Hampshire, Keene High School, Academy Building. Originally an academy, this building was leased as the High School in 1853 and was demolished and replaced in 1875/76.
Several links are attached with further photos and information (the identity of the building and related links were sent to us from Eric Desmond, Milford, MA).

         The airborne ball is circled; this is better viewed with a stereo viewer as the ball is quite clear
