The Old Woman in the Back Bedroom

The Houckenschneider Chronicles….

The Photo Album of M. B. Houckenschneider

Recently I was given a scrapbook that had been purchased on E-bay by a fellow O&W enthusiast. The scrapbook contained several photos taken in the late 1930's in the Livingston Manor and Roscoe area. The only identification in the book was the name "M.B. Houckenschneider" written on the inside of the front cover. The photos are reproduced here as they appear, complete with his captions. For more information on these photos go to the bottom of the page.
