The Case of the Front Stoop Five

Here’s another photo mystery for you to help me solve.

Similar to my previous mystery photos, I discovered this one in Colorado at an antique store.


Unlike the previous ones, there are no markings on the back or a date on the edge. Instead, there are old black photo tabs on the edges, indicating that it once belonged to a photo album.



I’ve tried searching for the photo on Ancestry, but unfortunately, I haven’t found any results.


If you recognize anyone in the photo or notice any clues, such as clothing or background details, please let me know in the comments section below.

West Baden Hotel Trip

While researching “Landscape of Valor, The Sinclair Legacy,” we went on a journey through Indiana. I had come across the West Baden Hotel, which had been acquired and managed by my husband’s second great-grandfather, Lee Wiley Sinclair.  As we drove into town, the road near the hotel bore the name “Sinclair.” Seeing the family name as a street name gave me goosebumps. The view of the hotel grounds was breathtaking. It was a sight to behold—flowers, stately buildings, and a touch of the past. I had been wanting to visit this incredible place before I wrote about it in my book. Here we were, driving through the grounds, eagerly anticipating a late afternoon and an overnight stay at the hotel.  At one point, it was regarded as “the 8th Wonder of the World, boasting a grand dome room and an expansive atrium.” During our initial hours at the hotel, we were transported back in time, treated to breathtaking views, and provided with exceptional service. Despite being a modern hotel ...

The Mystery of the War Time Sweethearts

I have another intriguing photo mystery to share. I’m eager to reunite this photo with its original family. I discovered it in Colorado. Google Images suggests that the photo was likely taken in the 1940s or 1950s. The vehicle appears to be a cab-over engine model. The man is dressed in a casual military uniform. They look like a lovely couple. The setting seems to be rural or semi-mountainous, where the photo was taken. If this photograph resembles something you recognize, I would be thrilled if you could leave a clue in the comments. Together, we might be able to identify the couple and return the photo to their family (or even to them). ❤️
