Chicago Man Donates Charles Tappan's Photo Album to Attleboro Historical Commission
As a child he bought the album at an estate sale, as an adult he donates it for the sake of history.
For more than 20 years, Illinois resident, Dushan Millinovich held onto a photo album entitled Our Home—Compliments Charles Tappan, that he bought at an estate sale in an old Chicago mansion.
“I bought them as a child in the mid 1980’s, thinking them a rather neat sneak peek into the lives of wealthy businessmen of the early twentieth century," Millinovich said. “I held onto these photographs in hopes of finding the house and its owner."
He continued to say, “I held onto these photographs in hopes of finding the house and its owner. It is interesting to note that the photographer, Mr. A.A. Nelson didn’t correct the over flash from the low ceilings of the billiard room. This may suggest that he was somewhat of an amateur.”

After reading about the Tappan House online, Millinovich contacted Attleboro Patch about his estate sale find. The album has since been donated to the Attleboro Historical Commission, but Millinovich has shared those photos with Patch.
