Thanks for sharing Mani, love the "OLE HOME PLACE"
Thank you Kerry :-) I am trying to keep up with your watches :-)
Love it Manikin what a beautiful building.. is it still in the family?
Hi Inky . Yes it is a cousin lives in it :-)
Nice picture Mani!
That's a big house, must have been a big family!
Do you know what year it was built?
Reminds me of the house on the Walton's.
Walksoft their were 13 children and 2 parents . One child died young so mostly it housed 14 people . Not sure of year photo doesn't tell me on back either . I believe it was already built when they moved there .
That was a big family, lots of help to get the farm work done.
Looking at the tail end of the car on left side of house, possibly mid to late 70's.
Thank you Official :-)
