    Ser ut att vara från Vasa skärgård. Kan det vara Nämdis gård i Replot.? Säng som hade VINKELHYLLA (kärilshylla i vinkel) och TVÅ skåp var sällsynt. Cit. ur mamma Marita Westergårds arkiv; "Nämdis i Replot...Indersängen har vinkelhylla och två skåp... byggdes av Jonas Löfdahl (Björkösnickaren Lihlt Jåon) 1883" Han hade också snickrat Nämdis vinkelskåp och "laangbänk".

    Mycket riktigt denna bild är från Nämndis gård i replot. Årtalet 1883 skall även vara det år huset är byggt.

    This is my grandmother's house that she was born in. Her name was Hilma and she was one of 16 siblings. I visited this house in June of the year. It had been in the family until just recently when it was sold to another family who are restoring it to its original state. So great to find this old picture.

    Nice portrait. The location is the Suwa Temple in Nagasaki, but the bronze horse does not exist anymore (it was offered as part of metal collections during World War II).
