Other comments During our first Christmas home tour, we were honored to meet a former resident of the home who lived here as a child when it was a rent house in the 1930s. After her death we obtained a victrola and other personal items which were used by the family while living here. Our upstairs bedroom is "Marie's room", complete with her portrait. Even with the small bathrooms and a lack of storage we love this house
