“In 1902, Father built a house at the crest of the Broadview Avenue Hill in New Rochelle, NY. And it seemed for some years thereafter, that all the family’s days would be warm and fair.”

This is exactly what I picture the house on the hill in Ragtime to look like.

Their expressions are complex.  You can tell they’re feeling a combination of sadness, shock and relief.
