Our Home in West Duluth

This photo is dated April 19, 1910 — 115 years ago today. It shows a house with two adults standing against a wooden fence and a child sitting on the fence. The image is from a postcard with writing indicating the house was in West Duluth.

Although the date written on the card references 1910 as the likely date the photo was shot, the year next to the postmark on the back looks like 1913. The handwriting is particularly sloppy on this card, so it might read “Our Home” or “Our Mom” on the front. The names on the card are sloppy, but the recipient’s address is 237 E. 121st St., New York, NY, and the name appears to be Rev. J. C. Gram.

The message reads:

Dear brother: How are you getting along? Milillauku (?) has again become famous. Say hello to (?).
