This adorable house was built in three stages. Originally, the front portion was built. The kitchen at that time was a separate building behind the house. It was probably built separately for safety reasons. The dining room was added on later and the existing kitchen was a miner’s shack that was brought up from the river and attached. The old kitchen is no longer there. Bob Massey and Elmer Bergh rebuilt the fireplace and relocated it on the opposite side of the living room. Other remodeling went on from time to time but the house remains very much as it was years ago.

This 2 story house has 4 bedrooms and 2 baths, and a formal dinning room. It sits on 4 acres consisting of yard, pasture, and garden. Carol’s pasture pet, Mr.P., a retired endurance running horse, is both handsome and friendly. Carol’s sister loved horses and there was always a horse in the pasture. When Carol and her son moved into the house after her parents died, she adopted Mr. P. so there would be a resident horse.

Carol’s father worked for Blake Moore Equipment Company and was branch manager in Sacramento. Carol is an employee of the San Juan Unified School District. She is an active quilter and enjoys gardening. It was delightful visiting this home. Thanks Carol for letting us in and sharing your warm, lovely home.
