This is the Harold Willingham house that burned up and killing Harold's widow Judy Powell and her sister. It was one of the houses flipped to a son or daughter.
No photography allowed inside of any of the houses on tour
The Van Pearberg house was not on tour, but who with a camera resist the temptation. Van's wife Patty died this past year.
The Montgomery House was not on the tour but has been on a previous tour. It still stands out in my mind as a favorite.
This house is interesting to me. I vaguely remember I was in it one time with my distant cousin Edna Garrett White. She had the key, and we went into it for some genealogical documents. I think the owner, another distant relative that I don't remember who, was a high ranking officer over seas. Mystery! Edna is dead now with no heirs. Her and her husband, also dead, lived on Frances Avenue. Maybe it was a dream.
This was one of the Blair homes in the neighborhood. I think the Mayor Rip Blair gave it to his son and new daughter-in-law, but it has change owners several times since then.
