Someone must have cared for that little house, to take a picture of it in all its plainness, don't you think? And the little house definitely is the star of this picture. Not the Ballantyne Repair Shop next door, nor the Scholler Blacksmiths, and certainly not the massive two-story brick building with the bay windows.

I left the image fairly large so you can see some of the details better. Notice the tricycle by the front porch, the milk bottles on the back porch, the little boy on the back steps, and the beautiful lace-curtained window of the house behind the corner house. And the sign: "School children cross here. Drive carefully."

Now it's a parking lot. Well, we need those, I suppose.
