Thanks Ron, there must have been a Jamieson Photography studio around the corner.

Thanks again-

For a minute there I thought maybe she was part of some Vaudville Show-which would have been totally out of character from what we know of her blue-blood English up-bringing!

I have an old postcard photo of my great grandmother Marguerite Estabrook that was taken around 1900-1915.

She is dressed in an Oriental Robe and is holding a Chinese fan.

The back of the postcard reads ‘Jamieson 173 Tremont Street Boston Mass.’

She did sing at her church in Needham Mass, but that’s all we know of her.

I originally thought Jamieson was a photography studio but cannot find anything on 173 Tremont.

I can only find 176 tremont info, which is the theatre.

Does anyone know or remember what might have been at 173 tremont?

My map search brings up the Loews Theatre, which makes me believe this photo was taken inside the ‘Tremont theatre’ and maybe my great grandmother performed there.

Any info would be appreciated.

Thanks!
