I wrote that the house was the model home for the first subdivision in town and the nut-shell version of the rest of the story is this: After all the lots in the subdivision had been sold, there was nothing left to do but move and do it again elsewhere. So, in 1923, the builder packed up his...
Oh! Fading! Believe me - I read eagerly each entry of your renovation! I now feel like I grew up in your 1928 apartment! That was some great work - congrats.

To make this post legal, I lurked a long...
