My grandmother, uncle and mom all grew up here. (Granddad lived here as an adult.) My great grandfather built it.

This week we’re challenged to share images inspired by the photo above.

Man in Frontyard of House. Fairbanks United States Alaska Fairbanks Area, ca. 1900. [Between and 1916] Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/99614444/.

Man with White House sheep. Washington D.C, None. [Between 1909 and 1932] Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/92511292/.

I would never have known that there were White House sheep, fairly recently perhaps. I searched for “man in front of house” and this popped up.

Jackson, William Henry, photographer. Man Yemschik? standing at Siberian post house. Russia Siberia, 1896. Jan. Photograph. https://www.loc.gov/item/2004708100/.

So my Library of Congress search took me all the way to Siberia. Go figure. I’m not sure what Yemschik means. It could be a name. I tried looking that up but got no results. How often does that name. No results. Hmm.

Thursday Doors: Tucked Away

doors, house, Illinois

This quasi-Prairie style home has its door tucked away. It reminds me of feng shui. For more doors, visit No Facilities.
