Annie Powell died in Lowell in 1952 at age 92 and was buried in an unmarked grave, forgotten by history.
Exactly five years ago, the speaker discovered her final effects and linked them to thousands of uncredited and miscredited photos in public archives.
Her images of municipal construction sites are sometimes exquisite, deeply personal, and worthy of recognition.
All Second Saturday events take place upstairs in our Overlook Gallery.
The presentations are free and open to everyone, including walk-in visitors, space permitting.
Please help us monitor capacity by reserving your FREE tickets in advance.
