In 1942, Jeannette Corey, who dwelled at 268 South Arlington Avenue posed next to the family car. The Coreys must have been well known in the neighborhood because Rollie and Myrtle Corey had ten children! Behind young Jeannette, you can clearly see the two-story dwelling at 302 South Arlington Avenue. Philip and Venetta Ochs dwelled there in 1942. Mr. Ochs was a city fireman. The home was built on speculation in 1924. The White family were the first to dwell in the modest house. L.S. Ayres Department Store employed James C. White as a carpet layer. A contemporary photo reveals that the home has only been slightly altered. You will notice the replacement of an upper window and the addition of a gabled roof upon the garage. The balustrade railing upon the porch roof has been removed at some point in time as well; however, the home still retains the original 1920s-era clapboard siding and windows.
