My father, Jan Iverson, was born in Los Angeles, California in 1936. This is a picture of his first home. It was built in the 1930’s. His family lived there until 1946. I shared this picture, as well as the I shared this picture, as well as the 1940 U.S. Census page that listed my dad and his family, in my post I Found Clark Gable's Mechanic in the 1940 Census!
Well, I just found another picture of my dad’s first home that I didn’t know I had! This photo was taken in June 2004. What a difference a few decades make, huh? And what’s even more special is that my dad, who passed away in 2009, is standing in front of his old home. Definitely a special find for me!
Thanks for reading!

A great find and yes, what a difference a few years makes. I bet your dad couldn't believe the changes, either.
ReplyDeleteYes Brenda, I was so happy to find this picture!
DeleteThe landscape in the first photo is so sparse it almost looks like farm country. I had to look hard at the second photo to see the original house! How fun to have both photos. Thanks for sharing them.
ReplyDeleteI agree Nancy, it really does look like farm country in the first photo. How things have changed! I also love that old car parked to the left in the first photo too.
