its the house my family built when I was 7 or 8 years old. its on Alwardt Rd Wyoming NY. Arnold Cox bought it from my family mid 80's

This is actually Wyoming county although you could almost throw a rock into Genesee county from there

My family built this house when I was in 3rd grade I am almost 60 now, in the top left corner of this photo is where our huge garden was. This was back when kids actually had to work before they could go play with the neighbor kids. I knew every neighbor for a few miles back then..Today I don't know people 1/4 mile from me. People arent the same anymore. Lot of good times at that house

Hi Richard! What was your favorite activity to do around the house? What kinds of things did your family grow in the garden? Have things changed a lot since the photo was taken in 1990? Thanks for sharing your memories with us!

Today I know they have a large garage behind the house. We stopped there one time when they were having a sale there. I told them we built this house. She gave me a walking stick they had found in the ceiling of the garage in the house...it was a stick I had carved while in cub scouts..it said pack 35 on it! In the garden we grew all the regular veggies..mom canned and froze everything. As kids we didn't spend a lot of time hanging around the house..the statelands was right next door for us to explore..or we went to the neighbors who had a big field and we played baseball.
