Say Hello To 1932


This is our street in 1932. Our house is the second on the right hand side. The downstairs window facing the camera is our kitchen. The one upstairs is Wilhelm's room. I wonder about the family that moved in here first. Who were they? Our kitchen window would have been their livingroom. And Wilhelm's room the bigger bedroom upstairs. Our study would have been their kitchen, and our bedroom and livingroom wouldn't have been there at all. The big birch isn't there. But the apple trees in the back would have been planted, though we can't see them here. I wonder who they were, the house's first family.

Have you ever seen the American site shorpy.com? I am finally through looking at all the pictures, but they're all photos of places in the US, and people, from 100 years ago or less. Fascinating, and I have seen many of Detroit, which has completely changed over the last 100 years.

Our neighbours found it, the Stockholm City Archives are open to the public and you can find pretty much everything there.

Eliza, sounds great, will look it up.
