The White Family's Brown Bungalow at 5024 East New York Street

T. Newton White grew up on a farm at East Tenth Street and Shadeland Avenue, but farming was not for him. He decided to go into another family business--candy.  The Nichols Candy Company operated in the Wholesale District at 118 South Pennsylvania Street.  Mr. White worked as a salesman and operator of the company for years. He married Pearl Seymour and they had two daughters, Virginia and Vivian. The young couple moved into a brand new bungalow at 5024 East New York Street in 1915 and would remain there for decades.  The modest home was sandwiched in between two large houses. Amazingly, the house still retains its dark brown stain in 2014.  The historic photos show the home in the 1920s and 1930s. More photos from this interesting family with be forthcoming.
