Peabody, Mass. Family History Photo

[DerbyHat]

Hello,

I'd be grateful for your information to help identify these cars from a family history photo taken in Peabody, Massachusetts.  The business owner, A. E. Fellows, lived from 1893-1965 and took over the business from his father there at the family homestead.  The sign says "House Painter / Paper Hanger".  Hope there's enough showing in the photo to work with.  Thank you for your help!

looks like a 1950 Desoto "custom" between the house and barn, and a 1950-52 Dodge "wayfarer" semi-fastback  sedan on the lawn.

Thanks so much, Dusty!  That's a great help!  I appreciate that you included the photos too.

 

Ben, I'm not near the region, but looking on Google Maps, the house and carriage house appear to still be there, but not at all in good condition.  It's 309 Lowell Street.

Save the carriage house!

In our town , a guy tore down the house by hand and restored the carriage house and moved in. It was better built than the house and had a living quarters above the barn area.
