Description

This formal family portrait of the Neil and Margaret Miller family shows them seated on a sofa in their comfortable and modern Colony house on their tract #155 in summer of 1940. The girls have grown to become beautiful young women and little Tim, added to the family in 1937, sits on his father's lap. Sitting left to right is Margaret, Janell, Neil with Tim, Priscilla and Mardie. The wall directly behind them is mostly occupied by double nine-pane windows typical of Colony houses, with floral drapes on both sides. A patterned seat cover is partially visible on the sofa and a dark, drop-leaf end table stands at the sofa's right end. A plain panel door is in the wall at far right.
