A Horse Named Bob

I haven't posted in a while because I have no time to do research. So once again I must resort to posting a photo that requires no research.

According to notes on the back of the original, this is Lester Harms with Bob on Cleveland Avenue. By Cleveland Avenue, I suppose the writer of the notes meant John and Sophie Harms farm.

No date on the photo, and nothing in it to help us guess. It must be after 1919, when the Harmses bought that land. Lester (born 1904) appears to be some indeterminate adult age between 30 and 55.

Bob is a fine-looking horse, and he must have been well tempered, too, if he let someone do up his mane in that elaborate fashion.

Is that Cleveland Avenue in the background?
