I managed to scan about 100 family photographs in the Scanfest in January, and have converted the scanned TIF files to smaller JPGs, cropped and rotated as best I can.
Here is a photograph from the Carringer family collection handed down by my mother in the 1988 to 2002 time period:

For comparison purposes, the same house viewed in the late 1890s is shown here. The house was moved to the middle of the block, on the east side of 30th Street, in late 1926 or early 1927. A view of the house after the move is shown here. The lower flat address is 2115 30th Street and the upper flat address is 2119 30th Street.
This house is still there, but it is really difficult to ascertain that it once was a gingerbread Victorian!

I love the exotic look with the palm tree! (I'm sitting here in a blizzard in New Hampshire as I type) It's so interesting to see all the different houses across time and across America....
