I'm guessing this is the earliest of the posted photographs because in the others (including "When Claraben Court Was For Sale") there is a white statue centered in the free-standing columns. The garden, columns, & statue are gone now -- replaced by a neighbor's house & a row of trees to block the view of said neighbor's garage doors. Here it is on Bing: http://binged.it/1DSgWxw
I like the windmill in the postcard -- a reminder that all is not being done by magic.
