The female, second from right, seems like she must have been quite a character, quite an independent soul. The stance, outfit, facial expression, and hand placement bear testimony to quite a bit of sauce.

I"M not sure that is a female

I have my doubts as well. Stance mimics the guy next to, and pants on a woman pre-1920 seems a stretch.

Looks like a river running through the valley. I wonder if it ever flooded and washed out those tracks

Probably....and that hillside next to the tracks probably needed regular attention, too.

Likely the Tygart Valley River, which I believe has its headwaters somewhere south of Mingo. I only remember this from having done some whitewater raft trips way back during my ill-spent youth. A lot of this area remains pretty desolate, with old towns founded as mining and timbering settlements.

If still standing and maintained, I'll wager that place doesn't look too different today. Awnings would indicate a south-facing orientation.

One of the things I find interesting about seeing these older houses from the past is how many of them had large front porches. Something you don't see on newer made homes made today

Sadly around here that comes from cramming McMansions onto small lots up against each other selling them for millions......starter homes and housing are rapidly becoming a thing of the past until you drive an hour or more from where you might be working.

I went through a trailer park last week. They get 225,000 for a double wide modular. Plus $856. A month lot rent. Along with you buying your utilities from them. That’s an endless trap.
