Found this one in Alverna's garage. Her handwriting on the back says: "German home of Grandfather Augustin was destroyed by firebombs in World War II. They have since rebuilt a home on the same location. Picture given to me on July 4, 1983." We gather this home, which housed both humans and farm animals (huddled together for warmth, we suppose), was the early-childhood home of our great-grandfather Henrich/Heinrich/Hinrich Augustin/Augustine, father of Grandma Maria Augustine Sprick.
