Around the House

 


It would be wonderful to be able to identify this little old lady, photographed somewhere in the city at the beginning of the second decade of  this century. But we have no idea who she was or exactly where this photograph was taken. She looks like a pleasant person, though, who didn't mind posing for our mystery photographer, perhaps on her own doorstep.
