Some things change, some things don't.

 

This is the house next door to ours. (Our house is on the right.) It, ours and the one to the left of this one were built in 1903 by the guy who owned the town lumber mill and all three have the best woods available for flooring and interior trim.

My step-daughter found this postcard online, showing how the houses looked shortly after they were built. The upstairs balcony on this house is no longer there.

I had no idea it was once a hotel. The three houses were built for the lumber mill owner's three sons.

Here's another view with our house in the foreground. The Interurban tracks ran just this side of our house.

And this is a view from a little farther south, showing the Interurban crossing and another house south of ours that has since been replaced by a modern ranch-style house.
