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.
