Family Roots

Coming back from our little getaway this weekend, we drove through the town where my Dad was born. My Mom pointed out his house which was the Bentley Hospital from 1926-1932.
My Dad was born in this building in 1931. It has actually been preserved by the town which I think is so cool having this part of my family history around

@drewhedden Thanks, I just thought this would be fitting to take in b/w

@jenrobcarr Well the town is not very large today and I am sure it was most likely even smaller in 1926

It is really special to have not only a family history but a tangible memory of it through pictures. Wow- it seems so unique for a house to have been a hospital once!
