Lake Chauncy
Bring a little Westborough home.
Square Magnet · 4 × 4 inches
A note for later belongs somewhere you will see it again; this magnet adds a picture to that everyday spot. 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. Put it near a message you will check later, so the little view is there when you return to the kitchen.
