The stately Victorian homes and commercial buildings that still line Main, Broad, and Brinkerhoff Streets in the center of town attest to that. A study of those architectural gems is offered here, as well as a section of studio portraits that show us the faces of the people who lived and worked in the area's beautiful buildings. In the early twentieth century, Freehold was still a thriving Main Street town, with room for both large industries like the Karagheusian Rug Mill and small family businesses. Known as a center for institutions of learning, Freehold boasted schools that drew students from around the country. One of those, the Freehold Young Ladies Seminary, is represented in this book by a charming group of candid photographs of students from the 1880s. On the opposite end of the social spectrum is a collection of snapshots from \"Camp Brakeley,\" which shows the summer field hands from inner city neighborhoods who were brought by Brakeley's Cannery \u003cbr\u003eto work in Freehold.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Arcadia Publishing Library Editions","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45128463581335,"sku":"9781531660543","price":2430.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781531660543.webp?v=1767280049","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/freehold-volume-ii-9781531660543","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
