I'm not sure about the touring, or the cow, or the hidden wagons?

Here's a bit of thread drift -- I'm curious as to why there is a build-out from the wall of the house at the very center of the picture. It has a little gable roof on it. It's about the size of a chimney, but it's not masonry, and there's no flue. The house's chimney is at the rear of the house, presumably in the kitchen. Any ideas?

I noticed that to Mike, here is the whole picture. Maybe there was a fire, then the house was rebuilt with the fire place just blocked off inside. Notice the ladder leaned up next to it. That might also be why that fire hydrant is where it is ?

Given the obvious similarities between the Ford panel truck and the 2 horse power unit on the right, I wonder if the two bodies were made by the same outfit.

I think that house is still standing. We were there last year on vacation. From the angle of view, and the mines on the hill, I think it is the old house across from the Casino on the main road into town. I notice things like old houses and such things. It is in very poor shape today, almost a skeleton of a shell but Im pretty sure its still there.

I think your right Donnie, those little windows are almost identical.

What is amusing is that even though there are the horses in the picture, they brought the cow into the picture too. That could have by happenstance or they were proud of the cow.

Also they are posing in a semi circle, but not centered on the cameraman.

Mike, I would have to look at a city map, but I think first street would be the street for the house Im thinking of.

Easy for you to say, Donnie.

Mike; It might have been a cooler for veggies and eggs.
My grandfather built one in the house he built for my folk's wedding present. It opens to the crawl space under the house covered by a screen and is open to the air thru a screen at the top.

Basically geothermal cooling, that's pretty interesting. It always amazes me, with no technology, the technologically advanced stuff that people came up with back then.
