The square posts shown by Miesse, and by stoner do not show. 3.) The step to light the lamp post appears idnentical with the one in 2.) above. 4.) Note: the chairs on the porch, the plants in front of the porch, and the limbs of the tree in front of western side appear to be indentical - in time. As to the lamp on Dengler's post, is it the same Coe photographers say yes; and no?"
