Comments

My grandfather (Pap) and his brother built this house around 1950 when they moved from Pennsylvania. My mother and her sister lived here growing up. They first built the basement and lived there until the upstairs was finished. Pap farmed, had pigs for awhile and small crops. The doghouse housed a nasty German Shepherd and he had a sign "Beware of Bad Dog" as you entered the driveway (which makes me shake my head now as a pet owner!). His garage was immaculate and we played in ther as kids. Pap died in 1977 and Grandma moved out in the early 1980's. We lived a mile up the road in the Osburn Subdivision and I am still in the house I grew up in. So many great memories. Thank you for this!
