Family History

Until her death in 2008 at the age of 76, this was the home of Betty Lou Mordecai Shupe. Betty had  13 grandchildren and 17 great-grandchildren who enjoyed visiting Grandma and Grandma Shupe in this home. The couple even raised one of their grandchildren here. Betty enjoyed painting china plates, but she was apparently a historic preservationist who did not paint over the beautiful woodwork in the house. The kids must have had fun playing hide and seek with those front and rear staircases!

    I’d love to see more pictures of all the stairwells. Also different views of all the rooms including basement and attic, if possible! This could be a spectacular home if refurbished.
