REALLY SO WHAT
What A Time

HOME

How would you like to take a tour of my home here in North
Fairlington? It’s brick two stories high, with a basement. We
lived in the middle triplex. One of 70 different arrangements
in the complex. We were the first in our court.

The porch is a nice entrance, protecting adults from the rain or
snow, and a great place for a ‘jail’ in chase games. We used to
get more snow in the 1940’s than now in the 21 century. To
st
much cement everywhere today. Inside the front door is a
st
small vestibule with a closet. It’s the only one on the 1 floor,
so it holds lots of different things, our vacuum cleaner,
galoshes with metal snaps, we wore over our shoes, wool coats
and knitted hats that buckle under the chin, dining table inserts
and table top pads for the dining room table.
