"5 weeks old (July 1917); 3610 Prospect, Kansas City, Missouri"
This photo is of Ruth Butler Burnett and her first child Mildred Burnett. I love the "newness" of this photo. The new family, new baby, new neighborhood. Unfortunately, the beautiful houses are now run down and dilapidated; I love that this photo shows their glory days.

Heather, I looked up that address on Google maps and you're right...the houses are now quite run down, aren't they? Pretty sad!

Yes, Chris, they are. I was going to post a before and after photo of the houses but it was just too sad. Thank you for the link!
