A Polaroid snapshot of the front porch of the house on the northwest corner of Jefferson Boulevard and Nelson Street in the West Central neighborhood in Fort Wayne, Indiana.

An American flag hangs behind some hanging flowerpots, and the yellow wooden planter on the porch rail has "Bless This House" written on it, along with a small American flag.

In the Nineteenth Century, the West Central neighborhood was a wealthy area, where Fort Wayne's elites lived. Many of the houses are large, beautiful brick homes like this one. By the late Twentieth Century, the area had become a rundown area whose grand homes had been divided into small apartments. Since then, the area has been slowly restored to its former glory, with many of the old houses restored to their original condition.
