By 1933 the one-bedroom home was a storage shed. This photo was probably taken by Charles Hardin. His wife, Katherine is seen holding broken pieces of furniture while Etelka "Tita" Mauldin poses with a smile. The ladies are all wearing bright white while Les is dirty from all the clean-up work. Junita looks like she is holding mangoes.
