Homeplace in 1951

Here is a picture of the Smith homeplace dated 1951. Of all the trees in the photo only the oak on the extreme left remains, and it now dwarfs the house as shown in the masthead photo.  The granite step visible in the lower center of the photo is still there. A circular drive used to intersect the front lawn and the step was on axis with the front door. A convenient place to exit your carriage.
