Just why were my Grandma Ingrid (second from the left), three of her sisters, and a friend, sitting there having their picture taken? And who took the picture?
Here's a zoomed in view of these darling girls.
This is what my Grandma Ingrid wrote under the photo in her Book of Remembrance.
Transcription:
In 1926 my Grandma Ingrid and her three sisters in this photo would have been the following ages:From left to right a friendAnnabelle McKendrick, MyselfIda, Ruby and Edith. Takenby our home on Grand AveSalt Lake City, Utahabout 1926
Ingrid - about 13 years old
Ida - about 10 years old
Ruby - about 6 years old
Edith - about 10 years old
Ida and Edith were twins. Did you notice how they were dressed alike? Well, except for the shoes. And I like how little Ruby is sitting there with her arms folded. And notice how Annabelle, Ingrid's friend, has her arm around Ingrid? Annabelle seems to be holding something in her lap too. I wonder what it is.
Don't these girls look happy…just sitting around…on a shed?
Thanks for reading!

What a great photo! Girls just hanging out and having fun and making memories to have and hold.
ReplyDeleteI think that is a garage but then again, it's not deep enough for a vehicle (if there was one to store there) or could be a storage shed . . . either way, great photo, Jana!
Hi Gini,
DeleteAt first I thought it was a garage too. It's really difficult to tell isn't it?
Thanks for stopping by!
Ha! What a strange place to pose for a picture but it looks like they were happy to be there!
ReplyDeleteHi Debi,
DeleteIt is a fun picture and they do look happy to be there! Thanks for stopping by!
Beautiful photo of girls just hanging out. Love it!
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea,
DeleteThanks! I'm so glad my Grandma Ingrid saved this photo in her Book of Remembrance. It's such a fun picture. And, I'm glad she took the time to label who everyone was in the picture too. Thanks Grandma!
Looks more like a garage to me where you would park your car which is partly built into a bank. The girls must have walked along the roof and sat where they are to have their photo taken, either way they look a mischevious lot who were haveing fun.
ReplyDeleteHi Bill,
DeleteMy first thought was that it was a garage. Perhaps you're right after all. In any case, it was a great place for those girls to take their picture. Thanks for stopping by!
Those girls knew how to have fun. adorable!
ReplyDeleteHi Colleen,
DeleteYep, it does appear that way. And I agree with you. This is an adorable picture of my Grandma Ingrid with her sisters and friend. Thanks so much for stopping by!
Looks like a garage I have seen in Oakland, CA. Here in OKLA that looks like a storm shelter!! Except for the doors.
ReplyDeleteGreat picture. Thanks for sharing
Hi Becky,
DeleteHmm. Interesting that it looks similar to a garage you've seen in Oakland, CA. I wonder if it really was a garage and not a shed. Thanks for stopping by!
Very cute! I wonder if it was one of those 'off limits' places, except for a special occasion, like a photograph :)
ReplyDeleteHi Sally,
DeleteCould be! I wonder who took the picture. Maybe this friend was visiting from out of town and so that was the special occasion for the photo. Isn't it fun to try and figure out the story behind a photo? Thanks for stopping by!
