It could be Attleboro, MA. Attleboro, the only Mass. town officially spelled 'boro' rather than 'borough' abuts the Mass/RI border and is a short hop from Providence, even back then. It could also possibly be Acushnet which is in Mass. and about 25 miles southeast of Providence. I would not guess Acushnet as there were two major cities, New Bedford and Fall River between it and Providence and they each had photo studios going back to the Civil War.
Amherst would not even be a consideration at it is over 100 miles away in Central Mass. and there are several cities and towns in that area that had photographers - Northampton, Chicopee, Holyoke and Springfield
