| Langouts or earlier added a bathroom where the front door facing Stanton had been and moved the door to its present location on Lexington. Syd Davis filled in 2 corners in the living room and enlarged the kitchen. 1967 - Syd Davis made a large 2 story Colonial addition for a family room, bed room and attached garage on the south (Don Curless, contactor). 2012/13 - Judy & Iain Reid remodeled far end of house to add 3 car garage. Also added workroom, full bath, half bath, mudroom & playroom. They also officially changed their address to 802 Lexington since the front door & driveway are now both on Lexington. The original front door was on Stanton but it was changed to Lexington many years ago, which has long been rather confusing. | ||||
