Edward and Etta Seibert dwelled at 5820 Beechwood Avenue in 1930 along with their chldren, Harold, Gertrude, and Mary. The Seiberts owned the home valued at $5000. Mr. Seibert was the proprietor of an auto repair shop. You will note that the contemporary photo shows that the stone porch has been removed.
The middle home at 5814 Beechwood Avenue is no longer standing and was likely near the end of its era in Irvington by the time this photo was snapped. The Endsley family dwelled in the nineteenth-century home for decades. It is unclear why the home was torn down, but a newer home was built on the lot in 1937.
Herman and Iona Knecht dwelled at 5806 Beechwood in 1930. Mr. Knecht taught in the public schools while Mrs. Knecht stayed home to raise their sons Robert and William.
The Dickerson kids lived across the street at 5823 Beechwood Avenue while Joe Roemmer dwelled with his family at 5825 Beechwood.
