In 2016 I did a ‘Vintage Photo Tuesday‘ post on ‘Images of people in front of their houses‘ (1920’s-1960’s). I created it because I had started to notice so many photos of people posing in front of their homes, that I felt it just had to be a post. Well several years later, I have “saved” a bunch more that I would like to create a part 2 for you all to enjoy.

Let the fun begin!

I love my plants and the moment I saw this 1930’s photo of a young woman sitting on the front porch of her house (technically the front!) surrounded by all these beautiful plants I just had to share!

I think this photo is late 1930’s but it also could be early 1940’s (I’m really thinking 1930’s). ANYWAYS it’s a vintage image of an older couple posing with a young woman holding a dog. They are all dressed up in hats and lovely dresses (and one suit). I especially love our young woman’s dress & that awesome circle rattan purse. Super cool! I wonder where they are going?

We made it friends! The last few days of 2022. Did it go as fast for you as it did for me? Wow did it ever zip by, maybe it was because I was so busy living life again that it went that fast.

I travelled (Colombia, Qatar, Indonesia, Malaysia, Chicago, Milwaukee, Vancouver, Newfoundland), I danced, saw friends & family again and of course lots of blogging.

2022 was also my 10 year blogging anniversary and I want to thank you all of you for your continued loyalty to my little blog (longtime readers and new). I could not do this without all of you. It’s been a blast and I cannot wait for more fun in 2023.

For my last post of the year, let’s take a look at Vintage New Years Eve Party photos from the 1920s-1960s Part 4 (P.S. at the end of this post, I share the other “Part 1-3” posts I have done on this topic).

1940s New Years Eve party at the El Dorado Ballroom, Houston, Texas.

Some interesting facts about the El Dorado:

It was founded in 1939 to showcase musical performances for Houston’s Black community at a time when such venues were segregated.
The owner was Anna Dupree, a successful Black business woman who operated the ballroom with her husband Clarence Dupree. The couple ran the venue for decades.
The ballroom was more than a place to go listen to music. Black people in Houston couldn’t move about the city freely during the Jim Crow era, so venues like the Eldorado Ballroom were essential spaces.
The music hall jump-started many Houston jazz and blues artists, like Lightnin’ Hopkins and Big Mama Thornton. Nationally acclaimed artists like James Brown and BB King also performed there.
It is set to be restored thanks to the efforts of ‘Project Row Houses, a Third Ward community organization’ (Source).
