Now has an addition in the back, the fence is gone, and only one front door.

Actually the addition was present in 1974. The double windows in the rear is where the bathroom is now on the first floor. The covered porch in the back exposed an original window where the sink is now in the kitchen. The upstairs roof was expanded to accommodate the bathroom and close upstairs.

The "new addition" is a rebuild of what was there originally as a porch on block pillars. The root cellar was then blocked. The "original" porch from the 1910's is where the downstairs bathroom is. There was a hand pump well on that porch and the door into the rear was through the shower wall into the kitchen. The "new addition" was a covered porch that was enclosed in the 1950's(?). It collapsed in the 2000's. The floor from the porch was salvaged and reused on the front but I don't think it's there anymore.
