Visit with Uncle Eddy and Cousin Karen

View of downtown Chicago. The building in the center with the flag on top of it is the Chicago Tribune building. The Chicago Tribune was started in 1847. The building was under construction from 1920 - 1925.

Yep, it's the Berghoff! Notice Cousin Karen and Uncle Eddy posing in the lower center of the picture. When I was at the Museum of Science and Industry, they had an old-fashioned main street with various offices and shops. One of the restaurants was the Berghoff. The sign said it was established in 1898.

The back of Uncle Eddy's house. The house is believed to have been built in 1911 and has been in the family since it was built. Notice the light fixture directly above the garbage can.

Cousin Karen has done a FABULOUS job of redecorating the house! There is more room and it is easier to get around.

This is a picture of my Aunt Lorraine, a pilot. This picture was probably taken sometime in the 1940s.
