Two-Storey House, circa 1900

Summary

By 1900, the time of this photograph, many house plans included a front porch. Large wraparound porches, or more modest ones like this one, often became a prime location to photograph family and friends. People would proudly dress in their best clothes and show off their material possessions--which might include the bicycle shown here and even the house itself!
