I have posted other pictures of her in the past on this blog (search for Elizabeth Guokas using the search box at the upper right), and I will post another one tomorrow. She is not wearing glasses in any of the other photos I have, but it does look like there are reflections off glasses in this photo!

It's such a beautiful home with the upstairs porches and doors and that beautiful screen door behind which Elizabeth stands. Do you have other photographs of her? It almost looks like she's wearing glasses. And I love her little hat/bonnet/mobcap (not sure what to call it). I'm so sorry the house has been torn down. Thanks for sharing this treasure.

It does appear on a 1907 Sanborn map (and that's about when they moved in), but their block is not on the next earliest Sanborn map online, which is 1896.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09902380558583190500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459115842890402911.post-34118137103605621802013-09-22T14:33:31.608-05:002013-09-22T14:33:31.608-05:00Not sure, Heather - maybe she did not like her out...Not sure, Heather - maybe she did not like her outfit that day!
