Question for New England Houzzers

I just found this at a second hand store and am trying to identify the building but can't find any steeples that match this one.

Does anybody recognize it?

Thanks!

You are right--I searched under Wolchonok and found many things. The print you have looks like a chapel at a college or private school. He did do some work in Vermont and Gloucester MA. My only suggestion is to contact one of the dealers who have sold his art in the past.

Good luck!

It is Louis Wolonchok. He was pretty prolific and I have not been able to find this piece mentioned anywhere.

Thanks for the heads up about Vermont and Gloucester. I did find something in Vermont that was similar but the steeple did not have all of the same parts. Thanks for your help!

The other thing is that two of the prints that resembled yours seemed torn from a book and had 3-hole-punch marks on the left edge. But I didn't notice any of the books that might have included them.

Well, you have made me very curious! Let's keep searching.

According to this link, the two prints came from a 1930 catalog.

Interesting. Mine has plate-marks so I don't think it came from a book. The frame is so old that I have been afraid to take it out for fear of not being able to get it back together...
