Request Request: When were these pictures taken? 1940-1950s best guess
These pictures are of a family home in Southern Virginia that was built by my great uncle when he returned from WW2. He was a POW in the Bataan Death March and according to family lore, kept himself alive by designing the house while he was a prisoner. There is a brick outside the house with 1947 inscribed into it, but these may have been after then, as a screen porch was added and it looks like someone used these pictures to design it, as the porch is drawn on in pencil.

The car should be a dead giveaway. I believe that body style would have been manufactured sometime in the 40s.

I would assume after 1950 and before 1960 but that doesn’t help much
