Great Memory Photo ! Wonderful Share 👍

Privileged white kids - lol! Wonderful historical treasure - congratulations on Explore.

This is looking north west at the front entrance of the house. The milk house is just out of the picture to the left. There was one large room across the front with the dining table to the right against the front wall, a hutch straight ahead to the right of the steps to upstairs, a large cast stove with a wood burning section and water reservoir across the room to and to the right of the hutch against the center dividing wall, and a cot against the far right (north) wall by the door to the main floor back bedroom. There was a base unit with the large bucket we would put the drinking water from the well in behind the entry door with a window next to it looking south across the fields - us kids would go pump the water. There was a metal ladle there with it. Wallace slept there on the cot with the dogs nearby; and Grandpa was in the room to the back where the old double pedal organ was, in his bed. The steps to upstairs was on the left side of the kitchen - south side. It led to a large room across the back with two bedrooms across the front of the house upstairs. The upstairs was really not used much after Grandma died.

This is looking east at the back of the house with the old milkhouse to the right. The kitchen-dining room cot was below the window on the left side of the house. The door on the left of the house led to the back bedroom. The two windows up top are the large back bedroom. Circa year 2000 I think.

I'll go through my (negatives\sleeves of pics) and find out for sure.

That photo was taken on Tuesday 27 Aug 1996. It was done with a Pentax SP1000 film camera. I was with my son and daughter, as well as a brother and his wife. The pic was number 16-Roll 212. Sorry - do not know where the 2012 date came from.
