The Farm House - Old and New Photos

Went by the farm when I was up at Jane's funeral, and took some photos. I am posting one that I took of Grandmother's and Grand Daddy's house. The railing on the roof is gone (replaced by a dish antenna), and the maples in the front yard are gone. Looks sad to me with what I remember of it. I found out from Mother when we were talking that the big living room had been two rooms, and that Grand Daddy had combined it after they moved there. He also had Mr. Baker add the large stone fireplace.



Betsy and I got to talking about old "old times" and I mentioned the glass plates from the attic. So when I got home I scanned some, since I can now do that. Here is the one of the house after it was first build. The wood is still in the yard, a ladder is on the house, and it has not been painted. Also it looks like one of the maple trees has just been planted.
