Thank you for sharing such a perfect example of a non-people photo that can have high value even to future generations. Images of family homes and family businesses (sometimes one in the same building, of course) are just wonderful for telling the family history. On a related note, if it's not too late you can take these photos today. And by too late I mean the house is gone. ;( Mary, this is a FANTASTIC idea!

I have a picture of my great-grandparents house closeup and one that shows the neighborhood (the houses were very similar) including the prison at the end of the block. My mother remembered hearing the whistle blowing in the prison. I never realized how close it was until I saw the picture.
