Handyman Special

OHU50K NOTES

It needs a new kitchen, but the house has plenty of curb appeal on a street of humble, well-kept homes in a low-crime neighborhood.

Family History

From the 1930s to the 1950s, this was the home of the Eggert family of German descent.  Charles J. Eggert and his wife Minnie lived here with their unmarried son Willard Eggert. Both father and son worked for the Burlington Railroad, Charles doing road work and Willard as a track foreman. Willard died in the home at the age of 52 after a year-long illness.
1953
