Colorized photo image of page scanned from scrapbook. Pictured are Joseph N. Murray, Mabert Avenue: farm home of Charles Brombacker, 1617 Mabert Road, and the Millbrook Casino. This building was actually a theater located just inside the park gates at 4200 Rhodes Avenue. It was built in 1905 with a seating capacity of five hundred. The Casino was the prime social gathering place in New Boston in the early 1900's. Plays, films, and concerts were shown all year for entertainment.
There are four scenes shown. Scene One: Boating on the Lake in Millbrook Park. This was perhaps the most popular of the activities to do in the park. Scene Two: The Skating Pavilion of the park. Scene Three: The concrete "Y" Bridge in Millbrook Park. Scene Four: The baseball Grand Stand and grounds. Portsmouth's own major league team would play games on the field in the park.
