Here's the 305 Bell house in 1942 when Suzi's grandparents on her mom's side lived there.
We got the house in 1978 and added on the back bedrooms, an aproximately 650 sq.ft. addition. We also modified the front by closing a front door and window in the front bedroom then removing the wall between the two rooms to make the current living/dining room. This photo is from 1979 when I was using Gpa Beyer's Ford tractor to rework the front yard.
Today, if you look carefully between the garage and the house, you can see the roof of the shop apartment where Sami and Ryan lived for a few months when they returned from Colorado. How do you like mom's car compared to her grandpa's car?

Very cool comparisons. I take it you've got control of the scanner?

What amazing history and great pictures. It's really amazing how a house can stand for so long (by American standards that is) and go through so many transitions and facelifts. It is such a precious place. I'm so thankful to you both for providing me a place to call "home". I also love the flower in the corner of the last picture, just a little artistic flair.
