Family History
Mr. and Mrs. William Kramer were the original owners of this bungalow. After an elderly friend died in the home, the couple sold the home to Hugh Coyan (1872-1960) and his wife Myrtle Morgan Coyan (1877-1952). Hugh owned Coyan Furniture Store at 117 Market St. (now demolished), and in 1940 valued the home at $6,000, the equivalent of $122,000 today.

I’m a huge fan of Victorian colors but not in a craftsman! This has to be the absolute most tragic use of paint I’ve ever seen! They even painted the limestone !
There’s got to be $20,000 in remediating their bad taste and drywall work? What a pity.

Spectacular house. Must have been one heck of a leak but looks like the situation is under control. Any insights on unusual ceiling in kitchen and one other room?
