This is likely to be the living room of 51 E Center Street, in modern times:

The modern couch appears to be in the same location as its 1942 counterpart.

There is apparently a door between the piano and the end table next to the couch, which is a bit of a tight squeeze.

The music rack on Mrs. Bachman's grand piano is not raised, so she may have been accomplished enough to play from memory, or was merely posed at the piano. Also, there is a cord going up her neck and over the top of her head that I wonder about - some sort of hearing device maybe? Perhaps she damaged her hearing by playing in a loud band in her younger years (Haha! Not likely).

is we don't know who they are. Julian Bachman is the husband, gone to Officer Candidate School. We know his bride is 23 and married for one year, and her younger brother is 16. He is, no doubt, a Lititz High School Pretzel. But no one in the photograph has been named. And that's too bad, because I wonder who the parents are. While the kids are in somber solids, Mom is wearing polka dots and Dad is dressed in a striped shirt and very noticeable striped socks. They might be the fun ones.

[Parents: Walter M. and Mary H. Scott; Kids: Mary Louise Scott and Walter Jr. - Dave]

Thanks, Dave. Even though Walter Sr. and Mary were the same age, he outlived Mary by 12 years, dying in 1972. I can't find Mary Louise for certain. Walter Jr. joined the Navy and fought in the Pacific during WWII. He returned home, married, worked for the Woodstream Corp. in Lititz, and lived to be 87. His 2012 obituary references Mary Louise's last name still being Bachman. She had already died.

Is that the Weekly Pretzelvanian?

The newspaper on the top of the stack nearest the camera is The Pretzelette, published by the Lititz High School. The high school’s teams were nicknamed the Pretzels. In 1956 the merger of Lititz, Rothsville and Brunnerville schools formed the Warwick Union School District and the Lititz Pretzels ceased to exist, replaced by the Warwick Warriors and a new school building in Lititz, from which I graduated in 1972.

Supplement to the November 19 Philadelphia Inquirer.

... while Mom sits in the other chair when they listen to their programming in the evenings.

Newspapers everywhere -- perhaps the morning and evening editions -- along with those huge magazines of when Life et al were large format. There's the bottom edge of a Life magazine just sneaking out from newspapers and book on the top of the stack on the table in front of Mrs. Bachman who is reading one also: "Life on Midway Island," page 118 of the November 23, 1942 issue of Life magazine.

And there is probably Son-in-Law Julian Bachman's picture in uniform on the piano top. One can ponder if Mrs. Bachman's younger brother would enlist in the military by 1944 when he would have turned 18.

Probably can't play the piano and already finished his latest issue of Squirrel Chaser Quarterly.

It appears that Mother might be playing a pump organ (if not a Walkman with tiny headphones) and I'd bet Brother is reading some classic Science Fiction magazine and speeding through space to rescue some damsel from aliens.

No hope for Ms Bachman and Pops. She's reading about life as a military wife, apparently.

Definitely qualifies as a wild night in Lititz.
