We recently bought an HP full page scanner and I have been learning
to use it and to post the photos to our family web pages. I am
making selections from the many dozens of large plastic boxes
of family photographs from the late 1800s to the present that line
our basement walls. I spent much of the 3 day weekend sorting and scanning. Some of the changes shown in these pictures over time
are fascinating.
For example, here is my parent’s 1884 San Francisco Victorian house
in 1969, 1976, and now:
1969:

1976:

In almost 40 years, you can see that the house has been repainted
and restored a bit and of course the trees and yard plants have grown.
The real changes are in the surrounding houses, both of which have been
remodelled and restored extensively as the Victorian style and neighborhood have become more popular.
