I am writing to thank the Downtown Association for hosting the Alive at Five. Even though [the most recent] one was not very well attended, it was a nice time. To those of you that didn't attend, you missed out on good music [and] the chance to see the few children that were there having a great time. You also missed out on the chance to visit with friends and neighbors you don't normally see. Should the association continue this next year, I hope you will attend and enjoy all the festivities....

I am told, houses like these were mail order kit homes offered by companies like Sears and Montgomery Ward from 1908-1940's.... Full story
