    The house in 1948. Frank Sturgeon raised the home and built a basement due to water levels. You can see 958 & 946 bu those are both now gone. The two large front windows on either side of the front door remain today.

    Good morning....I bought this house (954) about 5 years ago. A lot of work has been required to clean it up - and more work to do yet.
