Hoover Homestead

Title

Hoover Homestead

Description

A house identified in a handwritten note as the "William Connell House at Glencoe about 1887," and as the "Hoover Homestead." Glencoe is a neighborhood on the northwest side of Hillsboro, Oregon, near what is now Connell Avenue.

Notes on the verso identify the people appearing in the photograph as: Leona Victor and Helen Victor, standing on the balcony in the background; [Illegible, possibly "Mrs.?'] Connell; and Ann, Hattie and Grace Connell [children], foreground. The elder Connell is the woman in a long, dark print dress and a white apron standing by the baby carriage with the three small children. She might be Letitia Hoover Connell, their mother; or could be another female relative. The photograph was donated to the Washington County Museum by Charles Deichman; probably the son of Leona Victor Deichman, who appears in the image.

The house has covered porches running the length of both floors, each with two doors opening out onto the porch. The doors are each bracketed by two paned windows. The railing on the upper porch appears to be partially broken out. A dark horse is tied to the front fence near an open gate. Plants hang from the eaves of both levels of the porch, and the trees and bushes in the frame are bushy, with a large, flowered bush blooming in the front center yard. Another small building can be seen just behind and to the image-right of the house.
