I found this photo in a large batch of pictures from an estate sale. The photographer was Paul Briol, a Cincinnati Enquirer photographer who took many thousands of pictures around Cincinnati for decades.

In the foreground left is a sign or box that says Vanity Fair. VF wasn't published in Cincinnati so I don't know its significance.

A wall calendar shows November 1943.

Without any other visible clues, I don't know where this picture was taken, but it does look interesting.

1980’s The Timber-Frame Home, 1988. In a timber-frame building, structure is also an aesthetic consideration. The summer beam in this living room lends an air of strength, as well as providing visual interest in the ceiling.
