Fascinating detective work,
MichaelRyerson!
I'm a bit confused about the Mead house, however - if the year of the photo (1914) is correct, how can the Mead house be present?
Is the date on the car's license plate incorrect? Or did the Mead house take over 3 years to be built?
The eBay seller said
“The photos were taken by my grandparents between 1902 and 1918”, but as the picture shows his father on the left, it seems the date would be somewhat easy to narrow down... I mean, a four year old looks a lot different than a seven year old...
"This photo taken by my Grandmother about 1914 of my father (age 3 or 4)”
