Will's Doghouse

Will's Doghouse
Posted for the Vintage PhotosTtheme Park theme of BUILDINGS IN THE GARDEN/BACKYARD (sheds, summer houses, pigeon coops etc)
Written on the back:

Will's doghouse, taken 2 days after his 84th Birthday.

This is Will King, my husband's great great uncle. His sister was Mary King, my husband's paternal grandfather's mother. Alternately, he is Mary King's brother in law. I'm not quite sure.
He is, I believe, the man who worked on the White Star Shipping line, and was also a chauffeur before he emigrated to western Canada - probably in the early 1920s.
I think this was taken about 1956. I guess this is the "doghouse" he retreats to when he is in trouble. : )

Nice photo and interesting background (given it's size and all the windows, I didn't think the building looked like a regular doghouse 8-)!
