Thank you for sharing. I love looking at the fashion of the era.

Looks like they just got back from church. The building on the left looks like a big church. Very nice family.

I think it is the side of the family home, we have several other photos taken in the back yard of the house, it was a tall, narrow building with wooden siding.

Very nice house, then. I thought only churches could be that tall. :)
