Photo taken in 1919, women in the photo unknown.

The photos included here are a part of the Chelsea Retirement Community’s Heritage Room, where CRC presents its history and the history of its residents. Chelsea Retirement Community was founded in 1906 and the Heritage Room includes documents and photographs of the Retirement Community from its beginning up to today. Residents have also donated pieces of their family history throughout the years.In the Library’s search for photos and documents from World War I, CRC generously opened its Heritage Room for us to explore. The pieces included here are the photos and documents that included a date confirming they are from the World War I era. Unfortunately there were many beautiful photos that we found but could not confirm their date.
