Photograph Number184-64A

The recent weather, with snow to be seen on surrounding peaks, brought this photo to mind.  It was taken of the Swisher House (642 Johnson St.) on January 15, 1932, when 4 inches of snow fell on Healdsburg.  According to notes on another photo taken the same day, it was the first time snow had fallen in Healdsburg in 20 years.  A notation on the rear of this photo indicates that the snowman in the front yard was made by Riley Swisher.
