Family History
Sometime in the 1910s, Samuel and Fannie Steiner purchased the home. Samuel was a general farm worker, and Fannie, who had emigrated in 1868 from Switzerland, loved to garden. The couple had six children, but only the youngest, Mabel, ever lived in this home. In 1930, the home was valued at $7,500, the equivalent of $130,000 in today’s dollars.

This is really sad! I’m so sick of grey, black and white. If you want a contemporary home then buy one
The architecture of this house would have been amazing preserved instead. And a black garage??? Wouldn’t take it if they handed it to me. Sorry, I’m a die hard preservationist and someday all this craftsmanship will be gone. Breaks my heart

I do find it sad when all the beautiful old woodwork gets painted over, cuz its so laborious to uncover the natural wood beneath.
Don’t care what color the house and garage are, I can pretend it’s primer and paint over it a proper colr(s)…
