Description
An album of snapshot photographs of writer Conrad Aiken, his wife Mary (Hoover) Aiken, and visitors at their house "Forty-Nine Doors" in Brewster, Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The Aikens held a summer writing and painting school at their house, and these were most likely the participants in 1941. Images include people socializing, painting at the beach, the house exterior, and garden.
