Does anyone know anything about this picture? It comes from Linda Wisecup Wollam, who obtained the picture from her grandmother, Dora Compton Lauderman. Linda believes the picture may be, or have something to do with, members of the Hyer family of Frankfort in Ross County, Ohio. It may even be Michael and Elizabeth Hyer. If you have any information to offer, please leave a comment in the "Post a Comment" spacebelow.
Note the Gothic "Barrel House" construction of the building. We can't really see in this photo if the building is a home or a cellar/milk house, but some Europeans used this type of construction for homes and out-buildings from the mid-nineteenth century to the beginning of the twentieth century, so it could very well be this couple's house.
Barrel House roof construction is not gone. We still use it today, in some sports stadiums, and even in our glass enclosed bus stops, for example. Just take a look!
This photo was used with Linda Wollam's permission, and with her hope that you might be able to tell us more.
