1950. This photo was labeled "Gus at Al's house" but I'm 98% certain it is Bess's house, which had a big screened-in back porch that looked down over a precipitous drop. The view at night of DC was spectacular. Sometimes we'd go here on the 4th of July to see the fireworks (other times we'd see them up close from the Lincoln Memorial).

Al's house was on flat ground and was very small with no back porch.
