Our house - For Sale 64 Years Ago!

I am a bit of a digger on the internets. I love looking through old deeds (see evidence of that here) and things like that.

I also LOVE the Cleveland library. Our card expired so we made a trip to the beautiful Nottingham branch today and got it renewed. I was dying to do so because I saw there was an advertisement from 1948 about our little Cape Cod!

As soon as I got to my computer I capped it. A neat little piece of house history!


It's from the May 2nd, 1948 issue of the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
