Who Lived Here

Words & Photography
by Kristina Nissen



A photo of our home circa 1950's!! The little boy in front lived here. My son now sleeps in his room. The house was built in the late 1800's, and looks nothing like this outside anymore. The porch, which perhaps molded, was torn down along with all the shutters and Victorian details.
...I love knowing who loved our house before us. Who loved in it, and who cried in it, etc. There's something calming about knowing other women raised their babies in this home.
A neighbor gave this photo to me, and I keep it for two reasons: The first, I love knowing who loved our house before us. Who loved in it, and who cried in it, etc. There's something calming about knowing other women raised their babies in this home. The second reason is so that one day I can give it to someone and say, "Make her look like this again. She deserves it."
