It took some doing, but I finally found an old photo of our home’s builder/owner. I’m not sure of the date, but likely somewhere between 1870 and 1895. It was found in a historical twenty-fifth anniversary edition of the Columbia Herald from 1895. link: https://mdh.contentdm.oclc.org/digital/collection/mocohist/id/96138
I ran the image through ChatGPT to upscale and restore the image. When I think about the time this would have taken just a few years ago in Photoshop, one can’t help but be amazed… it’s nearly magical.
