I always loved the composition of the first photo. I’m not sure exactly where all of these were taken, with a couple possibly being from Louisiana, too. But my great-grandparents were in the Longview area at this time.

1543 SE 13th St., Ft. Lauderdale used to be a laid back little neighborhood with modest ranch houses, kumquat and grapefruit trees that backed up to the canals. It's no longer recognizable.
