Photo 96-BNO-23

Comments

My parents bought this property in 1979 and put a house on it. I was 10 when this was taken. A lot has changed. Neighbors on all sides now. This must have been shortly after my dad had the Laotto fire department burn the barn down. Now stands a pole barn. A garage was built sometime in the eighties. The shed to the right still stands and is sided. It's the only structure still there when they bought the property. When we were kids we used to go out where the original house must have stood and found old broken pieces of dishes, bottles, and other stuff like that. Usually beans and corn would surround us in the summer. Now it's neighbors. The house was added on to in 1984. Other than that and painted a couple of times it's still the same. My parents still live there and I call it home even though I've been moved for a long time!
