Even more 8th Street in Ogden

I first wrote of the Donaldson house at 629 8th Street in Ogden, Utah in 2017, and followed up with another post in 2021. I continue to work through photos from Dave and Betty Donaldson and found some new ones I wanted to share.

This first one is fun as not only does it have a car parked beside the home, but you can see a woman through the passenger window. I am not sure who the face belongs, but it could be my Grandmother Gladys Maxine Donaldson Ross. You can also see some snow on the ground behind and no homes visible across the street.

This one, is really one of many photos, in front of the home includes the beautiful Wasatch Mountains in the background.

And this one is in the front yard and also clips the north facing northeast corner of the house with David Delos Donaldson holding a child. Not sure who the child is, but it adds another glimpse of the neighborhood. In the 2017 post, I didn’t really get a street photo. Maybe I need to stop and get a fresh photo from that angle.

Is it Dena, Dora, Gladys, or Maxine? I don’t think it is Dave, but sometimes the boys dressed like girls too.

This next one is fun as it shows how deep the snow got in December 1933. The whole family his bundled up, but some also appear in dresses.

Date written on back: 1 December 1933

This next photo is definitely an earlier time based on the car. I don’t know who is on the porch, I think it might be Dave.

This last one doesn’t add much, but a fun photo of the front of the car with the twins.

Another photo.
