1966 - the Coles added a bedroom over the existing 1st floor back room (Don Curless, contractor).  The 1st floor back room was originally built as a bedroom for Vernon Peterson's father.  The Peterson girls remember it more as a TV room.  The room underneath was built as a shop for Vernon Peterson and has been used the same way by the Cole family.

Description: 2 story central hall colonial, brick and siding.
Story 1: The house was built on land formerly owned by Gladys Green of 625 Myrtle.  When the house went up she was not pleased it turned out to be 2 story.  There was a gate in the fence between 625 and 629 Myrtle.  It was locked with a padlock when the fence went up and probably never unlocked. 
Story 2: The Peterson girls came to Terrace Park for their TP School reunions in 2007, stopped by and toured the house.  Their father was a Chemical Engineer and worked for DuPont in their film department - cellophane & Mylar.  He was not in the WWII since he was considered in an essential business.  Both parents were graduates of Iowa Sate.  They met on a blind date in Buffalo.  Delores was a dietician.  The basement room under the back room was built to be Vern's shop.  He built several pieces of furniture including several beds, end tables, book cases etc.  Cherry was his favorite wood.  
Story 23 Several foreigners have lived in this house: from Britain, France, Germany, Finland, Turkey, Tunisia, Costa Rica, Jordan and Norway; many others for short periods of time.
Story 4: Cathi White (formerly at 707 Myrtle-1) reminded us in October of 2005 that the Vaughan family also lived in this house.  They did not own it and their name did not appear in any Terrace Park Directory since they did not live here very long.  When a home is rental property we often miss names of residents. The Richard Vaughn family were the first renters followed by the Watermans from England, the Cassins from France, the Reynolds (later at 620 Floral), and Jerry & Heather Lewis.    
Story 5: The kitchen cabinets were probably custom made by Hume Corwin (733 Indian Hill) since that's the kind of work he did.  (Joanne Kennedy)
