Nice before and after mix there ILS,
the building has been cared for, very well.

I was looking and ruminating on the differing scenes,
when the song by Joni Mitchell popped into my head,

"pull down the trees, and put in a parking lot"

from The Big Yellow Taxi album.

Thank you Rod. That cupola up on top there was torn down in the 1950's and just put back up 5 years ago! It still looks like it did back then too.

A good time for you to take along a tape recorder and ask your grandmother to talk about sights she saw as a girl. Most grandparents and other elderly hesitate because they're afraid they'll make a mistake; reassure her that everything she says is valuable, and, unknown to you, and therefore priceless. First time she saw a car, first time she saw an airplane, first time she saw TV, first time she went out of state, first time she rode the train, many more firsts you can think of...

Doug that's a great idea. However my grandmother was probably born in the 40's. My Great Grandmother was born in 1914 (deceased) and my Great Grandfather was born in 1908 (Deceased). They are the ones who raised me and told me all that stuff that I wish I would documented. I'm not sure if my Grandmother would have seen all that stuff or not? I'll ask though.

Look like the house on the right could be the same too.

It isn't though, but it is still a really old structure.
