These photographs come from the family album of Merle Citrin Monroe. They were taken between 1944 and 1950, at 3947 West Congress Street. They were the inspiration behind this post.

"A bit more info regarding the photo showing me watching a model airplane being built.....you can see the tail end of the plane at the lower left of the photo. Later that day, one of the ice-pick type tools being used by my neighbor rolled off the porch and landed in my shoulder as I played at ground level. I remember the incident....had no idea that I had a photo commemorating it!" (Merle Citrin Monroe)
