Unknown Location [post card 33]

The location and date of this house are unknown. This is a real photo post card probably before 1920, a way to let friends and family in other places know what sort of home one had. The photo looks like it was taken in the fog, but I suspect it’s the quality of photography and not weather that creates the impression. The house is a 2-story wood dwelling. The wraparound porch is on three sides with slender turned posts and brackets supporting the porch roof. The porch entrance has a small pediment. On the front façade are many lower floor windows. The roof is steep with prominent eaves; there’s a strangely shaped (to me it’s strange) gable on the front.
