Library Finds

A bit of perusing at the local library turned up some awesome pieces of 765 history. (Definitely one of the perks to living in a historic district.) According to the real estate listing from 1956 you should 'Be Prepared For Happiness' for only $850 down and $90/month. Wow! 
The giant pines are no longer around, the bricks were painted, and it looks like there was originally gutters on both sides of the house. The bottles sitting on the porch might explain why we found the canning jar lid. And with all those changes our house numbers on the pillar are still exactly the same!
