OHU50K NOTES

When this home was built in 1884, there was nothing more than verdant farmland and a house or two. Now this poor little farmhouse is being pushed out by interstates and commercial businesses. Sitting proudly on a knoll, however, the house seems to take a stand, as if to say, “I’m staying!” In addition to the arched doorways, lovely staircase and brick fireplace, I love the fact that the home has a darkroom. My father built my sister and I a darkroom in the house we grew up in. He even took my wedding photos, and we developed them.
