February is almost over and I haven’t yet shared a photo for the 12 Months of Photos challenge at WikiTree. The prompt this month is “Homes”. This month I am sharing a photo of the Hixon house in Michigan City, Indiana. This is a photo of Ella Herrold Hixon and her son, Julian Verne Hixon. They are standing in front of their house at 113 S Woodland Ave. Verne appears to be about 6 in this photo. The photo must have been taken about 1918.
I found a street view of the house on Google Maps. This image was made in 2017.
The house looks very much the same. The porch that spanned the front of the house is gone, but other features are still present. The leaded glass at the top of the front 1st floor window is still there. You can still see the double windows at the front on the 2nd floor. You can even make out the small round window at the side of the house. It’s amazing to me to see this house still standing 100 years later. I hope that someday I will have the chance to drive by the house.
