    <dcterms:description><![CDATA[A photo album of the Carter mansion, formerly located at the corner of Church &amp; Grove Sts in Chicopee. Built by Elias Carter (1781-1864) circa 1837, it was the home of the Carter family including Elias&#039;s son Timothy Carter (1809-1890), who helped establish Chicopee as separate from Springfield in 1848. Elias built another home following Timothy&#039;s marriage to Eliza Harriet Bayley (1822-1903) in 1843, and Elias moved into the &quot;new&quot; home (not pictured in the album), while Timothy and his new family remained in the &quot;old&quot; house. The mansion remained in the family until 1923, when the property was bought by the Chicopee Falls Elder Council of the Knights of Columbus #927. The mansion was eventually demolished sometime in the 1950s.<br />
<br />
The album is bound in grey paper, and holds 13 black and white images of the home (interior and exterior), as well as a seated portrait of Timothy W. Carter. ]]></dcterms:description>
