213 C Street



1934
This tiny house was the home of Leonard LeBlanc and family from 1934 to 1942. A native of Louisiana, he was a ward attendant at the government hospital (now the VA Hospital).

In 1934, Leonard LeBlanc bought the property from the heirs of Thomas Frayne for $400. He appears to have bought vacant land and then built this house on it.

In 1940 the house was valued at $700. He lived here with his wife Ena and four children, ages 2 through 11. Another child was born later that year, making 7 people living in this house!

In 1942 they sold the house to Milton Rabelais and his wife, who lived next door at 215 C.

Today it is a commercial property.
