new locations! anybody recognize where they are in number four? and an officially dated horse photo – 1901! there were a couple of attempts at multiple exposures, including the last image. unfortunately that one is pretty out of focus, but i admired their attempt so much i had to include it. also, there’s a baby with a kitty – didn’t think we could get any cuter but here we are!! i admire this photographer’s willingness to experiment and take photos like that last one and number eight.

I’m loving these, thank you so much for sharing! The candids in particular are so unusual to find. Do you think this is all one extended family?
I think the building in number 4 is what would become the Quaker Oats factory in Akron Ohio. The sign reads American Cereal Co. if I’m not mistaken.
Great pictures! Looks like Robert Vaughn in the first one.
i love the baby hugging the cat, wish i could see it up closer!
The horse picture says 1901 on the bottom, now you know what year these were probably around!
These are amazing! Thank you for posting these, OP. I’m enjoying them a lot.
Love all of these, please keeps posting them if you have more.
That building in #4 looks crazy, doesn’t even look real. It’s like something from a dream lol
These are fantastic. Thank you for developing and sharing.
The photographer had a real eye. These aren’t just historically interesting.
The 6th one with the girl sitting on the chair and the framed photo behind her (maybe relatives?) is crazy wild to look at. I love these, thanks so much for sharing!
I really have been enjoying all of these! Love seeing the past. Thanks for sharing!!!
If Iowa is a strong possibility then building in photo 4 could be the Quaker Oats building in Cedar Rapids.
There’s something so fascinating about seeing the insides of people’s homes in photos from the time. I feel like the way houses were laid out, decorated, lived in back then isn’t something we have much of besides written accounts and the houses themselves. It’s something hard to picture, so getting to really see it always feels poignant.
I love how REAL the photos make people look.
The horses hooves are in pretty bad shape
Thanks for sharing!
