[Tracy daughters at Christmas at 519 Buckley Street]

This photo was taken inside the house at 519 Buckley Street, which was built in 1891 for Clara and Samuel Appleton. The house stood at the corner of Buckley and Beaver Streets. Upon the death of the Appleton’s in 1894 and 1895, it became the property of the Robert Pearson family. Their daughter Laura Pearson inherited it. She had married Roy Tracy. They had a daughter Winifred Virginia Tracy. She is believed to be the smaller girl facing the camera. She was born on October 26, 1909 and was probably four years old when this photo was taken, which would make this photo date circa 1913. The other girl in the photo is unidentified. The photo was taken in one of the two living rooms and the dining room of the Tracy residence at 519 Buckley Street. Winifred Tracy (Korz) died on September 24, 1993.
