No, Cindi, that's your average red oak...

A cute little house. Who would have thought he'd become the king of R&R! Great image! Love the colorful leaves in front of it. Is that a gum tree?

This is a great shot Michael, still some nice fall colours hanging about.
So well preserved & so it should be.

Thanks, Hal...I would bet this little place has had a few more coats of paint and a lot more tending over the last few years.
Pat: I'll see if I can find out which song he sang to help you out.
Of course, he was before MY time, too....

I have heard of this Elvis guy from the states... nice red oak leaves... and a swing to play the guitar..

This is a lovely photo.
l wonder if the house was as neat and well-kept in 1939.
A beautifully clear photo, Michael

Bob, there is a museum, one which is pretty extensive, on the property now...

Wonderful to see how well it has been preserved.
There was a time when this size house was the norm - Back when people
didn't need, or didn't think they needed 4,000+ feet of space to live in :)
I like your very concisely composed image. Nicely done!

Wow... it's very nicely preserved, as it should be.
Nice photo with the fall colors in the foreground.

Is it a historical site, museum, residence?
