Charles and/or his father developed their own small 5-lot tract on the SW Raymond/36th corner. In the 1923 CD, after the auction in the illustration, Charles Sr was still listed there; Jr was at 1528 W 17th. Two years alter, Sr was next door to his son at 1530 W 17th. Both addresses appear to be gone now... |
The house dates from 1907-08, but the dress of these people looks to be from much later; maybe '30s-40s. Only what may be a puffed shoulder on the lady to the left hints at early 20th century.
