This is the house that I grew up in. It was located at 45 Dahlia Street in Denver, and it is still there today, and excellently taken take of (the address was changed back in the 50's to No. 39 Dahlia, however). It had been built just before my birth in 1942 by William Falkenburg, and it was excellently constructed. The Calvert's house was on the right (in photo 1) and the Walter Schlagel home can be seen behind our service yard on the right. That's me in the color photo on the left, followed by a photo of one in the sucession of maids that spoiled my sister and I growing up. She is standing next to Mom's car. Her name was Jo, and she was from Ireland. The last photo on the left and the first on the right were taken from the sun porch on the second floor (you can see it on the right in photo two that shows the back side of the house). We are looking southwest from the porch and can see how few houses had been build when these photos were take about 1942. Even more sparse (but no photos) was the land that ran east of the house. It was almost all vacent lot from Eudora Street to Lowry Air Force Base at Quebec Street. That's Mom and I on the right, siting on the flagstone steps in the back of the house, and the last three photos, taken when I was a baby, show the interior of the house. The first was taken in the enclosed first-floor porch of our dog "Minnie," followed by the Christmas tree in the "living room," looking into the dining room, and last is a photo taken in my bedroom on the second floor, northwest corner of the house, and I am asleep in my crib.
