Burrough House and Children, c. 1907

This photo was taken in Burrough Valley about 1907. The house in the background was purchased by my great-great grandfather Andrew Spence in 1888 from the estate of the late William Hutchings. The house was torn down about 1910 to make room for the 2-storey house that still stands in the location at the intersection of Burrough Valley Road and Burrough North Road.

The children are (r-l) Vivian Spence (b. 1900), my grandmother; Harry Gilmer "Fritz" Spence; Edward "Bud" Spence; Patti Spence; and Norman Weldon.

The view is northeastward, and it was late afternoon, judging by the shadows.
