Genuine stereo pair97%
The two photographs contain the viewpoint difference needed to produce genuine depth.
- Depth spread
- 6px
- The range of horizontal difference between the two views. More spread generally means more depth; 0–1 px usually indicates a monoview.
- Match
- 77%
- The share of usable picture detail that can be matched between the left and right views. A higher number means a more reliable comparison.
- Vertical
- 0px
- Vertical drift between matched details. Lower is better; 4 px or more can indicate camera movement, scan skew, or poor alignment.

The cottage has a projecting gabled entrance and a brick chimney; barrels, a wooden chair, and a long worktable stand in the yard.

Location
Quidnet village — probable location of Fred Parker’s cottage · Nantucket, Massachusetts, United States
Photographed subject · Street / district · 60% confidence
The Smithsonian identifies a closely matching Freeman stereograph as Fred Parker at Quidnet, supporting a probable identification of this scene. Mapcarta supplies the coordinates for Quidnet village, not the cottage footprint or camera position, neither of which is established.
