HISTORY OF YOUR HOUSE

From the March 2007 Re-Echo

Although you may not consider your St. Louis Park house to be historic, years from now future owners would love to know about its origins. From an 1892 “Walker” house to a 1950’s rambler, every house has a story to tell. The Historical Society would like to encourage you to bring us copies of documents and pictures pertaining to the history of your house, and we will keep the information on file at our space in Lenox.

A good example: Judy Reynolds Best brought in copies of financial and construction documents for the house that her father built in 1937. Included were copies of priceless pictures of the house under construction. The house is on Georgia Avenue, across the street from Lenox, and a picture of Lenox from that period was included. This is wonderful history, and something we would very much like to encourage.
