Fun Facts!

• Six generation have lived in this house:

1. my kids
2. my husband and I
3. my father-in-law
4. his mother (and father)
5. her parents
6. her grandparents

• When we completed the bulk of the renovations in 2007,  we replaced every single light fixture in the home, except for a single sconce in the entryway.

• The original permit for the house is still pinned up in the basement.

• Our house has been occupied by the same family since 1927. 

• Our daughter's bedroom used to be a kitchen.

• Our son's bedroom used to be a living room (twice).

• My office used to be a sun porch.

• The upper bedrooms of the house were rented out during the Depression. The whole family lived and slept in the lower half of the house, and built a shower in the basement.

• The original stove/oven is still in our basement. It probably still works. 

• When we moved in in 2007, Ralph's grandfather Joe let us share the house with him. I think he enjoyed having our toddler son Jake in the house during his final year. It was sweet seeing a 1 year old boy play with an 84 year old man's walker :)
