Still in early times, Veullerot views

Here is a rare view of the Eastern side, that was probably considered less attractive and thus less pictured.

This postcard was mailed in 1905 and is very interesting for several reasons:

-it shows a now missing extra chimney on the right of the Eastern roof side

-the tiny tree that is shown in the center grew a lot before felling during the 1999 storm. We measured it at 27 meters long when it lied on the ground.

-the left basement window is now the basement Eastern entrance.

-there were white fences around the garden

-the spelling is weird, Veulerant instead of Veullerot

Two more pictures before we reach the period when my family bought the house (1912):

This is the same view twice, but one picture was colored. The view is taken from the end of the "water channel" that fronts the house (put there as a safety in case of fire). My grand father barred the end of this channel to build a swimming pool in the round part. The photographer would today be right by the swimming pool side.
