As always, click photo to enlarge.
This is the house in El Cajon CA where my great-grandparents Ada and Oscar Tilley, and great-aunt Lou Goodale Bigelow lived. Auntie Lou had a studio off to the right, attached by a lovely breezeway. This photo shows the house brand-new, not like I knew it: it had large walnut trees in front, a screened in porch and lots of green grass. The orchard was still behind it even when I was a kid, but the land has been bought up and turned into a housing subdivision.
