This house at 8842 Ainsworth Road was built by Henry (Sr.) and Anna Harms in (I believe) 1882 to replace their log cabin. In 1915 it became the home of the newlywed Herman (Sr.) and Minnie Harms. In 1938 they sold it to Michael Carrozzo.
We do not have a date on the historical photo, but if it was taken during Herman and Minnie's occupancy, it would date to between 1915 and 1938. However, it may possibly be even older.
You will note the profusion of decorative plants in the front yard. Both Herman and Minnie loved flowers.
(Yes, 2011. "Now" is a relative term.)
