Coolidge, Baldwin, 1845-1928
Baldwin Coolidge was born in Woburn, Massachusetts on July 7, 1845. He was the son of Mary (Manning) and Benjamin Coolidge and the great-grandson of Loammi Baldwin, Revolutionary War patriot and engineer for the Middlesex Canal. Coolidge grew up in Lawrence and became that city’s first engineer at age 33 before he changed careers and opened up his first photography studio in Boston in 1878. The photographer returned to live in a Baldwin family home in Woburn in 1889, around the time that the photographs of the Woburn Public Library were taken, living there through 1908. At the same time he continued to maintain a studio in Boston. He died in California in 1928; his ashes are interred in Woodbrook Cemetery in Woburn.
