| Description: | Ranch with full basement. |
| Story: 1 | Information from Esther Power: prefab built by Clermont Lumber Co., the only one they ever built (Ferd Critchell) |
| Story 2: | According to Barbara Hornby, older daughter of Halsey and Marie Bechtel, this original house was "carted away by someone and re-erected in Athens (or was it Akron?) OH. |
| Story 3: | County Auditor's site says this house was built in 1935 but that would seem to be wrong since, according to the realtor's listing, it was only 2 years old when the Bechtels bought it from the Greigs. It was probably built in the 1950s with the Grieg family being the first owners. The Bechtels bought it in the late 1950s or early 1960s. This house does not show on the 1939, 1942 or 1951/3 maps. The Bechtels enlarged the living room out towards the front and added a screened porch on the back. ( See letter from Barbara Hornby in the House File) |
