I looked up the records for my house and found the names of the original owners who lived here from 1952-1994 and invited them over!
They brought pictures of my house and shared many interesting stories. Above is my house being built.
My house in the 1950’s with a carport.
My house today with the carport turned into a sunroom.
As seen outside my door to my 1950’s ranch house! It came with the house and I think has been there since the 50’s.
