Scope and content
New homes by the Jardeen Brothers, in the vicinity of the Westgate shopping center. A shirtless boy in shorts stands in the summer sun in the new road in front of the one story rambler with garage. The mailbox leans at an angle, probably not set yet. Construction debris litters the area around the new homes. There is no vegetation because landscaping has not been done yet. The home has vertical cedar siding, a crushed gravel roof and large windows. This, and other homes pictured, may have been on No. Shirley St. where the Jardeen Brothers were building new homes. Jardeen Brothers' office and millwork plant was located at 1240 So. Sprague Ave. (TNT 9/9/1956, pg. E-12, TNT ad 9-9-56, E-16)
