Small Pond--5825 Oak Avenue

In 1947, the Stout Family of 352 Good Avenue built a Goldfish Pond in the northwest corner of the their lot. In the top photo John Stout begins to break ground. In the bottom photo the crew has nearly completed it. In the bottom picture, you can see 5825 Oak Avenue. This late nineteenth-century Queen Anne home is one of the older houses in the area. In 1910, Fred Rubin, son of Jacob Rubin, lived in the house and operated a dry kiln on the property. I am not sure who lived here by 1947, but the home is beautifully maintained in 2011.

In these two images, Ileen Stout is holding babies Frank and David. In the bottom photo she is standing outside. (1948) Behind her and to the right you can see 352 Good Avenue and to the left of her you can see 5905-07 University Avenue. She is standing next to a sawhorse holding up a small boat. You can also see that the car near the boat has an open door. In the top image she is standing inside a recently added room to 352 Good Avenue in 1950.

The Stout family lived at 352 Good Avenue in the late 1940s and early 1950s. In the top photo Wilma and Ralph Stout pose near 5905-07 University Avenue.

The rear of 5905-07 University Avenue can be seen in the photo. These images are courtesy of Susan Gulde and Chris Capehart.

352 Good Avenue--1947

It is always interesting to see how homes have changed over the years. The Stouts lived at 352 Good Avenue in the late 1940s. All of the photos presented today were taken in 1947 and 1948. Wilma and Andy Stout are pictured on the front porch. You may see an earlier photo of this house (1910) in a previous post. These images are courtesy of Susan Gulde and Chris Capehart.

Stout Family--352 Good Avenue

The Rubin Family dwelled at 352 Good Avenue from 1909 to 1934. Several families lived in the home in the 1930s and 40s. In 1946, Febro Stout and his wife Elsie purchased the house and lived here until 1951. The Stouts hosted several extended family members after World War II because of the lack of housing in the Indianapolis area. They also added on to the home in 1948. Pictured in the photo on the left are Elsie Stout and her two daughters. In the photo on the right Wilma Stout poses with her new husband Arthur Kinnan around 1948. In the background of this photo you can see 5920 University Avenue. More photos from this family will be forthcoming. These images are courtesy of Susan Gulde and Chris Capehart.
