Another Waldo

What is this a picture of? I'm going to be real stingy with clues. There will definitely be no street names.

I'm sorry, Dan. I figured this out a little too quickly. Perhaps, instead of just blurting out the answer, you can reward me by letting me give the clues.
1st clue: One of the dates on the sign is 1882.

Ouch!

Consider yourself rewarded. Be my guest.

By any chance, did Louisa May Alcott live nearby this house?

northberger said...

Dean's got it!

And, that's the next clue: Indeed, the Alcott home is just 0.4 mile from the home in the picture.

Answering with the next clue... priceless.

Dancelot said...

Rats!

The final clue for anyone who still may wish to guess:
The essay, "Self Reliance", was written in this house.

I almost forgot... and there still may be someone out there who cares...

This was the house of Ralph Waldo Emerson!
