Yes! This was my grandparent's farm from the 50's until my grandmother passed in the 90's. J.E. and Margaret Edwards. 5998 Manchester Road (5888 in the early years until renumbered). The house sat where I-75 is until the highway came through in 1959. From the easement sale, a basement was dug and the house was moved to it's current location. In the 70's, a breezeway and 2 car garage was added to the house. The very small shed directly behind the car was moved to the far left and housed paint supplies of granddad's painting business. All the original buildings are still standing. They purchased a large color print (framed) when this photo was originally taken.
