About the Photos
Most of the photos on this site were extracted from reference images (high-resolution tiffs, 20 to 200 megabytes in size) from the Library of Congress research archive. (To query the database click here.) Most were digitized by LOC contractors using a Sinar studio back. They are adjusted by your webmaster for contrast and color in Photoshop before being downsized and turned into the jpegs you see here.

This was taken around 1950. My Grandparents had sold some property with the agreement that my great Aunt's and their home would be moved to the property the developers hadn't purchased. My great Aunt refused to leave the house so she was moved right along with it. (From a 2 1/2 X 3 in negative). View full image.
