A Family Lived Here, 3

This is the addition on the left side of the house.It has a separate entrance and small porch and note the small AC unit in the wall, it looks like the only place on the property that was air conditioned. Notice the separate power pole, this spot needed a bit more power than could be had from tapping into the old fuse box in the main house. The driveway widened in this area and it looks like a few cars could park here or turn around here. That might have been where farm equipment was stored or, as I think, it was for customers of her shop. The small addition has a large front room and a smaller back room plus a very unique screen porch that leads to a door into the main house. My speculation is that while her husband worked elsewhere she did hair in the shop and possibly long after he passed away. I think she loved the little screen porch. She could access her shop dodging rain or sleet and avoided the heat of summer a bit too. I wonder if her “best” friends entered the shop by the screen porch’s side door? One more post tomorrow.
