Each day we bring you one stunning little glimpse of history in the form of a historical photograph. Enjoy!
About this site:
I have been an avid collector of old photographs and documents for over 30 years. The photographs on this site are derived from material I have collected over the years. Some came from old family albums, some from material I bought at flea markets over the years, and some from government archives of public domain images, including the US Library of Congress, and the National Archives. We appreciate you visiting this blog, and hope you find it interesting.

At what point do you declare victory? I know I'm stumped. He looks like a wealthy architect or engineer, but that's not getting me anywhere.
ReplyDeleteIt is not Jesse James.
ReplyDeleteI declare victory if no one has gotten in by 7:00 AM Sunday Morning. You have 24 hours to figure out who it is from the time the contest starts.
