Junius was the son of the first Lucius Beebe, for whom the public Library in Wakefield is named.

Once owned by Lucius Beebe and the Beebe Family, the property at 142 Main Street is presently owned by Richard A. Martino, who was kind enough to provide these photos. The man standing in the top right photo is believed to be an elderly Lucius Beebe, for whom the public library in Wakefield, Massachusetts is named. Lucius Beebe died in 1884, so the original photo was likely a dry plate image. This type of technology was typically available at the time only to the wealthy, which would have included the Beebe family. In any case, in the background beyond the trees on the estate, Lake Quannapowitt is visible.
