Lowell Ayres (formerly Lowell Leek) was the half-brother to Anna Ayres (1901-1982). At a young age he showed a propensity for engineering. Around 1917 he built this model airplane from scratch. I do not know if he got it aloft, but it looks great! On the back of this photo, someone has written home place across the road! The Ayres home stood at the southeast corner of Church and Meridian Streets in Raysville, Indiana. The house still stands in 2011 although it has been significantly altered.
