Aunt Libbie’s House: This monochrome photo postcard depicts a charming, two-story house surrounded by lush, mature trees, featuring a wrap-around balcony covered in climbing vines. The architecture suggests a period aesthetic with detailed balcony railings and multiple large windows, providing a serene, almost idyllic old-world atmosphere. The house is partially shaded, casting a cozy, inviting ambiance over the structure, while the surrounding foliage enhances the sense of tranquility and seclusion. The small carriage house facing High Street is visible to the left of the house.
