Photo Friday: Trying to save a photo

 I was going through more of the papers I have and discovered a bunch of loss photos.  I think they are mostly tied to my Great Grandmother Florence Smith, but this one seems to be different.  It was glued onto a piece of cardboard and is highly degraded.  I may send it out to an expert to see if they can really restore it, but here is my attempt.

The second photo is after I have messed with the colors a bit.  You can obviously see the 2 figures in front, but really can't tell that much more.  I believe this is the West street house.  If so, that could be Great Grandmother Jane Caroline Reed in the front, and possibly either Edward or David Wright on the bike.  I then would put the photo in the 1890.
