I have the 8 x 10 photo of our house from 1937 and it’s great. (Reminds me I have to get a frame for it.)
I also ordered the 1972 photo of our house, but only got a 5 x 7 because the man at the archives was nice enough to tell me he’d pulled the negatives and the 1972 one was slightly out of focus.
I still ordered it since I wanted to compare changes to the house over the years, but it certainly isn’t frame-quality.
So my advice is go for the 8 x 10. And my interesting finding was that my house still has the same screen door as was on the house in 1972.
