Crestview House
This is a wonderful picture of the house that still stands at 253 Crestview. Despite what has been scribbled on the photo, the picture was probably taken around 1908 when the house is estimated to have been built. The people in the photo are standing on the east side of the house; the front is to the right (the side with the dormer). You can click on the image to enlarge it; there is something behind the house looks like a cemetery but is more likely an orchard which would have been in the vicinity of Kelso and Calumet.

I cannot thank you enough for posting this picture on your site. My grandparents lived in this house from 1966 until 2006. That is my grandmother’s handwriting on the picture. I remember seeing this picture a long time ago but no one in my family knew what became of it. It’s these moments that make me so thankful for the internet. This house holds so many happy memories for my family. Unfortunately my grandparents had to move because as they were getting older, the house just was too much for them to handle. Does this original picture exist somewhere? I would love to be able to see it again. Thank you again.
