Out and About
Hi Philip, I have a post card just like yours. I didn't know the date of it.Whose house is it on the left?
ReplyDeleteJuanita, this photo was taken from about in front of Lela's house, looking toward the harbor. There is the tiniest bit of Miss Mame & Hinman Howard's house on the left side of the photo (I cropped it so that it is now just barely visible). Hinman was Grandpapa Homer's first cousin. That house, gone for about 25 years, was only a few feet from the fence. The small house with the porch is the small yellow house on Howard Street (built c. 1840). It was once owned by Virginia Howard, Taft Howard's sister. The live oak tree on the right was toppled during hurricane Isabel in 2003. The parsonage is just beyond that tree, on the right.
ReplyDeleteHi Philip,
ReplyDeleteI love the picture. It makes me want to walk barefoot down the lane.
