232-234 Washington (1900) (b)

Here's an enhanced version. Mick adds :

"The shadow cast on the side of 232 indicates that the row homes to the west were built and that the side yard in 232 was always there. The row homes to the east were not built and some sort of barn or stable stood there. Out front was a white picket fence and a well-worn hitching post. The siding was later covered by asphalt shingles and even later with aluminum siding. I remember the shutters still being on when I was young; they were painted green but were slowly decaying and they were discarded. For 1976, while the shingles were on, my Dad painted the side of 232 with a red, white, and blue stars and stripes motif."

Is this an awesome photo or what? Some other things to note - there's someone (with a hat) peeking out the door of 232 at the photographer.

It looks like there's something (or someone) at that doorway person's feet, which is showing up right under the canopy of the carriage.

There's also something right above the horse's back. Maybe a lady in the front yard of 232, holding a child, and shading her eyes? Maybe, maybe not.

The windows of 232 are up, so I'm thinking this is probably in the summer. And the gizmo in between the wheels of the carriage intrigues me. It looks like it serves as a mud-flap in its present position. But it looks like you can also put it in a 'down' position, when it functions as a step-down to the ground. But my knowledge of carriages is rather slim.

Washington Street isn't paved, but it looks like it has a curb of bricks on a 45 degree angle, and a sidewalk.
