The first owners were sisters Reba and Lynn Burnett. Two years later they offered it for sale, but it didn't change hands until they sold it to Charles and Kate Real in 1929. Charles was a "medicine salesman". Charles and Kate lived here 5 or 6 years, then put their house up for rent. It has had several owners since.
In 1942 there was an unusual ad in the newspaper: "WANTED Couple retired interested in playing ahuffleboard during morning or afternoons Please drive by 964 Barnett Street."
I understand this completely. I would love to find some folks to play Scrabble with!
The occupants at the time were Mr. and Mrs. Homer Brooks. I wonder where the shuffleboard court was.
The house had a number of occupants over the years. Robert F. Snow lived in this house the longest--from before 1958 to after 1971.
The Unitarian Church bought it in 2007 to provide additional space.
