Three little girls visiting their grandparents house c1920

[Aussielass]

The photo is not very good quality, it was scanned from the original which seemed a bit out of focus.

If it could be cleaned up a little with a dash of colour added it might add some life to the photo.  The 3 girls were from a family of 8 girls. 

Even a dash of colour to the flowers on the creeper/vine might liven it up, and a bit of a paint job could make a difference to the house.

Thanks and Kind Regards,  Aussielass

Sorry but I can't do colouring - bit of a clean up though..

This house looks very like my grandmothers - but in reverse!     Her verandah was going the other way.

Had the one in the middle been playing in the dirt - or was her dress that design?

Hi Wiggy, thanks for the clean, yes, I think there were a lot of weatherboard homes very much like that in the early 1900's in Australia.       Unfortunately the photo isn't clean enough to determine whether the dress was dirty or whether it was the pattern.  I think perhaps it was a floral design!      Once again, many thanks for the clean!   Kind Regards,  Aussielass

When I was cleaning it, I zoomed in and thought it was dirty!      However you could well be right - the clean strip round the bottom is very regular isn't it! 

 - I think it is a lovely photo - especially if she is absolutely filthy, having had a really good time visiting Gran!!!

I agree Wiggy,

I was inspired to do a clean-up also as my Grandmother had a house the same as that in Malvern,  the trims were dark green & it was the same aspect but not the same weatherboards,
it had large blocks in a brick like pattern.

Thanks for the clean up Yvonne, funnily enough the house still stands, although it is no longer in the family.  It has been extensively renovated and a whole new generation of people (almost a century after the house would have been originally built) have moved into the area with young families.   Once again, thanks for the lovely clean up!  Kind Regards, Aussielass

Ours was still standing ten years ago, the front lawn was deeper than yours & a taller front fence had been built,

One with a bit of colour. I didn't know what colour to do the clapboards, so just left them as they were.
