That picture reminds me of the book "Giants in the Earth".

That's a very neatly put together sod house.

Living roofs are making a comeback again,,,,,
Smart idea with the TPO and Venial Flat roof material we now have
In the old days we protected hot tar roof from decomposing with gravel

No extra fat in that picture. No photo's taken today In America could resemble.

It seems most of the time the people look sad. Those were hard times. We are spoiled.


When us older people say, "Enjoy them while they're young." We are talking about our hips and knees, not our kids.

They were told to be still for the photo which probably accounts for a general lack of joviality.


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I would guess that in that time period with slow developing plates and lack of money you had to stand still for a long period fear was a factor

They look hungry. Had enough money for a photo. Well dressed and clean. Great history lesson photo.
