(Courtesy of NASHUA HISTORICAL SOCIETY) Curtains, tables with books, a mirror and different styles of chairs are among the props in the studios of prolific Nashua photographer Frank M. Ingalls, which, when this photo was taken in 1899, occupied rooms at 63 Main St., an address that no longer exists but was probably on the west side of Main Street between the Nashua River and Water Street. Note the coal-burning stove and the overhead gas lights that warmed and lighted the room. Many of Ingalls' images, some taken in this studio but many others that he photographed around town and in a number of other cities and towns, now belong to the Nashua Historical Society's Frank M. Ingalls Collection.
