<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Chris1948, post: 246107, member: 4874&quot;][ATTACH=full]75691[/ATTACH] Since I just joined this site I thought I&#039;d start off with something that I&#039;ve got quite a bit of information on . We found this framed photo on our last shopping trip to Galveston. The frame is 11&quot; W x 18&quot; L and of course the photo is a bit smaller. The glass in the frame is beveled but doesn&#039;t sound like glass at all but instead sounds like plastic or acrylic when tapped. I know the frame is wood just by looking at the back and seeing where the hanging wire is attached. The ivy leaves seem to be slightly colorized green. On the backing for the frame is written</p><p><br /></p><p>G. A. Walker</p><p>4430A Chouteau Ave</p><p>FR-1-1073</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago up until I was 20 I used to live across the river from St. Louis and recognized the street name. I looked up the address on Google and amazingly the building is still standing - <a href="https://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/80309970/4430-Chouteau-Ave-Saint-Louis-MO-63110/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/80309970/4430-Chouteau-Ave-Saint-Louis-MO-63110/" rel="nofollow">https://www.propertyshark.com/mason/Property/80309970/4430-Chouteau-Ave-Saint-Louis-MO-63110/ </a></p><p>It turns out the building was built in 1909 and looking up the address in Gould&#039;s St. Louis City Directory the earliest I can find someone at that address was 1911. I&#039;m still searching through the different directory years but so far no G. A. Walker at that address.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
