Date: Circa 1955

Summary: A young girl, unidentified but likely one of the four daughters of chauffeur Phil Fetch, poses outside their home in the Carriage House of the Old Governor's Mansion, Bismarck (N.D.). Behind her is the landscaping on the north side of the Carriage House, and the side of the building, as well. Her hair is shoulder-length and pulled back from her forehead. She wears a pinafore style dress, very popular in the 1950s. It is unclear which Governor's family was in residence at this time, Aandahl left office in 1951, and was succeeded by Brunsdale from 1951-1957, and then Davis from 1957-1961.
