Besides the obvious changes in landscaping, can you find a major change to the Brooklyn house? This picture was taken in May of this year. I contend that the roof line has been changed. I'm looking for old pictures to substantiate my claim. If you have any, old pictures, send me a copy.
Discuss!

P.S.: If you look carefully, you can see the Brooklyn Watertower in the background, the scene of Douglas' most famous stunt...more later.

You just never noticed it! It was accessed from a door deep inside what we called the attic. You know the one off of the "girls" room. It was were we kept Aunt Geraldine. I know because I used to sneak her food whenever there was leftovers. She didn't even mind the canned beets, powdered milk or the hommony!
The trees are gone. That's what different. There are at least three big trees missing. There was THE tree, you know, the tree you leaned off of the patio wall to pull your "switch" from, which in turn caused your fall, which in turn allowed you to feign injury thereby giving rise to great guilt in our mother who spared you the whippin you probably deserved and I so wanted to see you get..........oh .....sorry, I've digressed and that was probably a run-on sentence.
There was also a gladiola tree with beautiful pink and white flowers each spring, a tall pine tree, a couple of deciduous trees; maple maybe?
THAT'S what is different. There were trees along the front a side of the house.
And there you have it. And so it is.
I agree the roof line is diferent. There is now a door where Ron and Howard's window use to be. I bet it leads up to an new 3rd floor. The atic off the girls room is where Olga use to hide from us. I'm pretty sure great aunt Geraldine lived down in the coal bin. I remember siting down there and reading her journals.
I am not sure how this works but I am going to try. This being recently shared with me, I remember the front of the house having tall evergreen trees surrounding it. Also there was a steep incline leading down from the "concrete patio" to the driveway, with two rows of concrete wide enough to pull a car up on. I was a victim of a skateboard accident here where I ended up in the gravel driveway with a rock stuck in my leg.
