Do you recognize this house? It is a photograph on a metal plate (a tintype) dating from the early 1900s; Hélène Demers gave it to us, but she has no idea where it came from.
Its owner looks prosperous and stands beside his family. We can see five children and his wife (?), handsome mouldings above the veranda columns, a canary cage and a wooden sidewalk; he is holding an unidentified object in his hand.
