Lake Chauncy
Bring a little Westborough home.
Rocks Glass · Clear · 10 oz
After setting out water for a visit, there is a little time to look at the picture on the glass. Lake Chauncy fills the foreground before Westborough's state-hospital buildings, giving the historical institution a setting across a broad stretch of water.
A plate published in 1891 shows Westborough's state-hospital buildings across Lake Chauncy. The lake fills the foreground, with the institution on the far shore. The image records a historical landscape and public institution; it does not imply endorsement of past treatment or an unchanged present-day setting.
This view holds lake and institution within Westborough's historical record; its value is in documenting that setting, without endorsing past medical treatment. Set it out for a visit or a quiet evening, with the local subject there to notice between drinks and conversation.
