Description: Southern Colonial farmhouse.
Story 1: The Leaf family originally lived across the Little Miami River in Anderson Township.  Henry Leaf owned property on both sides of the river.  Michael owned land only on the Terrace Park side.  1897: John Leaf is listed on Elm.  Is this Michael's son?
Story 2: Henry Hodges was landlord for the area behind him down to the Little Miami River.  In August 1969 Village Views reported that the scouts cleared Hodge Acres, owned by the Village, "abandoned slum colony".
Story 3: The Village of Terrace Park annexed the area in 1940 and purchased the remaining acres (Miami Grove) in 1957 from Alvin Hodges for $13,000.  
Story 4: In Miller Scrapbook (in the Community House) - home of Leonard and Myrrl Goorian - Post/Times Star, Oct. 19, 1960 - article by Polly Cramer with interior and exterior views (copy in house notebook).
