West Park Avenue, Victorian Historic District, Savannah, Georgia, 1979, by Walter Smalling, Jr. for an Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS), via Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division.

“House Verandah. Mother, Winifred, Helen & Mrs Kingsmill,” Deseronto, Ontario, July 1908, via Harold McMurrich Rathbun’s Negatives album, Deseronto Archives Commons on flickr.
The Rathbuns were a prominent family in Deseronto. About the time of this photo, The Rathbun Company owned a local shipyard and saw mill and a number of other businesses. At least two of its men had served as mayor around the turn of the 20th century. However, markets changed, woods stock were depleted, and fires destroyed their docks and other property. “[The] core timber and minerals resource businesses were dead by 1916 . . . . The company surrendered its charter in 1923,” according to Wikipedia.

Judging from two other photos in the same collection, sleeping porches were being promoted as a way to cut the risk of contracting tuberculosis.
Homes on North Commerce Street, Natchez, Mississippi, ca. 1900, by Robert Livingston or William Percy Stewart, via Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
The Stewart brothers were local amateur photographers. A search on Google Maps shows that these houses still stand, but without the elaborately turned post columns of the house on the right.
