| Dairy cattle, part of the Lewis farm. |
I thought I'd share them with you here, since I noticed work being done on the old, quiet park. I think the City is building a new playscape there.

| Fast forward to about 1965. An Easter Egg hunt at the park. I'm the kid third from the left on the front row. |

Wow ... that was a cool story Joe. It is very fascinating to know the origin of the items that we have been seeing for years.
ReplyDeleteI love old photos like these. It's fun to compare the old photos with the current ones.
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know when the Lewis Dairy farm closed down?
Another interesting piece, thank you!!
ReplyDeleteThe first two photos show a hill in the background. Utilizing Google Map, I displayed Westland Park on my monitor. The same hill appears to still exist; it wasn't removed during the building of the homes in that area (at least not all of it was removed). In my mind I could picture where the old Lewis house was located. I'm not certain why, but it was fun to compare the old to the current.
ReplyDeleteI'm convinced that the entire history of photography was invented for one ultimate goal, and purpose - so that Joe can teach us.
ReplyDeleteYou know the old saying, "a Herring photo a day, keeps the doctor away." :)
Thank you, Joe, you truly do teach us. When I think of the TREMENDOUS amount of education that has been given to us by you, I am astounded (and, very grateful).
I wonder, what is in the trough?
