Brookdale - Carport Side
Boulder Creek, Calif.
Retreat for Kay and Gudrun and the family
"Hid'n Hut" as it was prior to 1955 when the addition and the enlarged front porch was build.
Possibly taken when it was purchased in the late '40's.
Still here in 2006. Gone is the great grove of trees cousins used to play in. The yard is filled up with outbuildings, giving a cramped 'industrial feel' and the property is surrounded by a tall fence. But the cabin and carport are still the same!
