Thanks so much for posting this link. I found the town and house I 
grew up in and still own! Imagine my surprise to see this house 
documented by none other than Dorothea Lange.
The house is the third from the left in this photo:

My mom and dad lived across the street at the time this photo was 
taken but lived in the pictured house from ~1944 until their death 
earlier this year (2005). 
This is one of those digital prints only available in lo-res. Does 
anyone have info about obtaining higher resolution versions?
