Darn Lucky Kids of Ainsworth

This photo was (somewhat crudely) printed on a postcard …

… and mailed on April 29, 1909, from Ainsworth to the 13-year-old Phillip Waldeck in Deepriver (by someone who didn't know how to spell Phillip):

These lucky kids are unidentified. I think their parents memorialized this awesome playhouse by taking the photo and having it printed on at least one postcard. So many nice things! — kid-sized rocking chairs, two dolls, a teddy bear loading up a toy train, and curtains in the window.

What do you want to bet these kids were some of Philly's many Maybaum cousins? I'm just taking a wild guess.
