<p>August (circa 1862-1950) and Anna Brand (1869-1952), natives of Sweden, came to the United States in 1883. They were married in 1893, and in 1903 they bought a hotel at the corner of Sixth Avenue and James Street, which they renamed the Hotel Kalmar, after Anna's home town in Sweden. The Brands had three children: Garfield (circa 1894-1903), Viola (circa 1895-1981), and Leonard (circa 1902-1969).
This photo shows Anna Brand standing between her young daughter Viola and the family dog in their backyard of their home on 23rd Avenue. </p>
