I used google earth to try to look a the exact location (give or take), and none of the houses looked anything like this. Austin Avenue today is still a residential area, with modest houses & large trees all fairly close together. It seems to also be very close to an interstate highway. I'm pretty sure the building in this photo no longer exists and has been long forgotten.
We've listed several pictures on eBay related to Oliver Phillips & his wife's family (the Hackners) and the house on Austin Avenue in Barrington was referenced several times. And it was referenced in such away that could lead a person to believe that it was not the family's primary address, but I don't know for sure.
Update: Sold!
This house is oddly animated. It looks as if it could start walking away. Something about the porch and the absence of anything surrounding it.
ReplyDeleteI agree - it does not have a "lived in" look. I think it was very new when the photo was taken.
