Homestead Views in the Valley

Two vintage photographs mounted on a black album page show a small house and its surrounding yard in a rural setting. The top photograph depicts a modest wooden home with large windows and a dog standing on the lawn; handwritten text beneath the image reads “Our own home in Valley.” The lower photograph shows the same or a similar house partially obscured by trees and plants, including what appears to be agave or yucca.
