Fun with automated recommendations.

I was trying to find a picture of a particular building in New Hampshire. (Without success, I might add; I'm kind of boggled that there are no photos out there on the web somewhere!) Anyway, I searched on flickr and got the following:


We couldn't find any results matching east and sandwich and chapel.
Would you like to try a search for food, church, lunch, cheese or bread instead?

I googled "church sandwich ma" and got:

Nice pics, but not the building I'm looking for. (I'm looking for the East Sandwich Chapel, aka the East Sandwich Meeting House.)

Gah, those were big! Sorry!

I got a ton of stuff from "East Sandwich Meeting House" but don't know which one is yours.

Well, this is it from above.

Small, very simple building, no steeple or anything. (I was really hoping for an interior photo, but that's unlikely.)

Oh, you're looking at Sandwich, NH! I thought you were referring to Sandwich on the Cape. Crap.

Would you happen to know the denomination of the church? Also, I may be going up to Sandwich soon, and I could probably go take a few pictures for you. :)

I'm not sure there is a denomination attached at this point -- at least I don't know of one.

I don't really need a picture, I was just looking for one for something. Not a big deal. :)

What's taking you to Sandwich? (My grandparents' house is there, and my aunt & uncle live there.)

Using Ask.com, I discovered this bit of info about the Chapel:

The Sandwich (New Hampshire) Temperance Society displayed the painted sign in Plate I at its meetings in the East Sandwich Chapel between 1800 and 1900. On it, a snake, a symbol of betrayal and sin, wraps itself around a cup and is inscribed with some of the dangers of alcohol: "REDNESS OF EYES./WOUNDS./BABBLINGS./CONTENTIONS./SORROW."

Using Yahoo.com, I found the Sandwich Historical Society, which has photographs in their collection. http://www.sandwichhistorical.org/index.htm

Also, the Conway Public Library has resources for East Sandwich NH available by phone:

Have fun!
