Picket Fence (Unidentified Glass-Plate Image)

This is the last unidentified, unpeopled house from the glass-plate negative collection. (There will be other unidentified houses, but they will have unidentified people to go with them.)

Judging by the well maintained dirt road and the sidewalk out front, this house is in town … but not a very thickly built part of town. I can't tell whether that slanting roof just visible at the far left of the photo belongs to a neighbor's house or an outbuilding of this property.

Notice, on the left side of the house, a well padded and elaborate seat — almost in the form of a sleigh — shaded by a parasol. Just the thing for lounging around outdoors on a summer day.
