is an old picture I scanned that was hanging on an older Kenmore
resident's wall. The road is 200th at the 6100 block, The small shed in
the field is actually still there (in a field) but the house and flat
garage have been replaced by a yellow split level. Looking at the cars,
this was probably shot around 1957 or '59. I believe that these
buildings were the remnants of a truck farm operated by a Japanese
gentleman that was interned in WWII. The people shown in the photo
purchased the property sometime after WWII. The area across the street
from the house used to be called "The Goat Farm". The small creek is
now gone. The photo was taken from a Navy helicopter by John Yeaman. Jack
