This album originally came from Illinois. Some time in it's past it was moved to the state of Arizona where it spent it's last 30 or 40 years there. Now it's back in the state of Illinois.
This old album is filled with interesting old black & white photographs from the 1930's & 40's. It's not in very good condition. Some of the pages are loose & have pulled away from it's spine. It has photos of soldiers, people on farms doing farm work & posing with farm animals. A couple of steam boat photos & just snapshots of people in everyday life. This album also has a few vintage postcards from attractions on Route 66 & other places.

A photo from "The Green Photographs Album." The photo had a big white frame around it that I cropped out so details could be better seen. No info on the back.
Looks like they are ready to build a house. They have a bunch of lumber on the truck with bundles of laths for plaster. Could be the husband & wife of the new house posing with their dog at the front of the truck. Or maybe the owners of the lumber yard posing with their workers. Could be something else entirely.

The 419th Operations Group (419 OG) is an operational component of the 419th Fighter Wing, stationed at Hill Air Force Base, Utah.
The 419 OG plans and organizes operational programs and establishes policies and procedures for operational training functions. It directs, monitors and supports operations programs, including flight operations, standardization/evaluation, weapons and tactics, intelligence, operations and training and life support.
The group's designated flying squadron is the 466th Fighter Squadron. Pilots from the unit train for both air-to-air and air-to-ground attack missions in the F-16 C/D model aircraft.
History
Activated on Guam on 31 January 1945. Assigned to Seventh Air Force. From late January 1945 to mid-February 1946 the 419th Troop Carrier Group's headquarters was assigned neither squadrons nor aircraft, but was composed primarily of a few detachments on Saipan, Tinian, Guam (all in the Mariana Islands), and Angaur (in the Palau Islands), the latter detachment moving to Iwo Jima in March 1945. The detachments operated transportation terminals that assisted in moving troops, equipment, food, and mail to, and in evacuating personnel from, combat areas.
When activated again, the 419th controlled several Reserve units at five separate locations. In mid-1949 the group moved without personnel or equipment to Scott AFB, IL, where it became the combat component of the new 419th Troop Carrier Wing. Group pilots trained in T-6, T-7, T-11, and C/TC-47 aircraft until c. March 1951.
Beginning July 1956, the group (and its three squadrons) trained in C-123 assault airlift operations. For the next 16 months the group airlifted, airdropped, and airlanded troops and cargo to support tactical operations, special missions, and U.S. Army and joint airborne exercises, worldwide.
From August 1992 it trained for and flew fighter missions. Between December 1994 and February 1995, took part patrols to enforce the no-fly zone over northern Iraq.

A photo from "The Green Photographs Album." No info on the back. It is cropped down a little.
I think it's a coal chute, or it could be just a basement window.
