Sunshine is finally here!
To celebrate, we are sharing this never-before-published photograph of a sunny day at Green Lake, circa 1918:
Copyright Nancy Johnson, may not be reproduced without permission. Click to enlarge.
This historical view of of Green Lake comes to us from the personal collection of My Green Lake reader Nancy Johnson.
The photograph was shot from the interior of a canoe on the lake. Homes along the east shore of Green Lake can be seen, as well as N 65th St, heading east from East Green Lake Way N.
If you click on the image to enlarge it, you can see a house with a triangular peak just to the right of the woman in the dark hat. That house, now painted blue, can also be seen in the 2011 photo below:
“The man on the left is my grandpa, Robert Deane Herrick,” Nancy says. “I think the woman to his right is my grandma, Margaret Ramm. I’m not sure about the woman on the right side of the photo but I think it may be my great grandma Nellie Ramm.”
Thank you, Nancy!
