This simple box gable roof house was built by the Fairchild sons for their parents. The house was built around 1905 and is still located on the southwest corner of S. Alpine Street and 10th Avenue. This is a picture of three men and what looks like a Border Collie on the front porch. A young man and a bearded man are sitting in rocking chairs and the other young man is standing in the doorway of the house. The man standing is wearing what looks like a black shirt with white buttons and sleeve garters and black pants with suspenders. The young man who is sitting appears to be playing a harmonica by the way he is holding his hands. He is wearing a white shirt and a lighter shade of dark pants. The bearded man is wearing a dark shirt, jacket and pants. All are looking at the photographer except for the man playing the harmonica.
