The Old Home Place #5. next door to 280, Mom had this nice log home built, 282 West Sixth. It was also on the river. Drama time: the builder mis-appropriated a lot of Mom’s money so it was never quite finished when we had it. The gal that bought 280 from us (in the next lot) crashed her Jeep coming down from Big Mountain to sign the papers, and was hospitalized for a while before she could sign. Then Mom was fired from Big Mountain, because she “was not young enough” for the display booth at the travel shows. She won that lawsuit, BTW, but it took a few years, so she moved again…I don’t know if I have any photos of that home. There was grass in front of the house when we had it.
I don’t think we ever got around to the porch railings. You had to be careful in the bedrooms upstairs: they both had doors to the porch…and no railing!
This is a view from across the Whitefish River. Someone put in those nice steps, finished the basement wall in rock, put up the porch railings, including in front of the two upstairs bedrooms. The main floor was living room, bath room, and kitchen, which is behind that nice window on the main level in the photo above. The basement was an apartment. This was a nice, cozy little house.
