Photo 73-EAD-1

Comments

This was my home place. I was born in 1984. There was a pasture added behind the barn and it runs from the north end of the existing fence to the south end of the old garden in this picture. The garden is still there but only half as big. The house was added onto in 2000 and the “L” on the north side is where the addition was added along with an upstairs on the whole house (except above the kitchen which is on the east side). There was also a basement house put in south of the white building with the gray roof (that building used to be where Hilty’s Dry Goods Store was) which my aunt lived in for quite a few years. Mom sold the farm in 2018 (the same year that my dad passed away) and the current owners have tore down the basement house and filled in the basement. The wood shed (little building directly behind the house) was beyond repair and I tore it down in 2018 as well. I saved the siding and remodeled our bathroom and used some of the siding for the shower surround.
