| Description: | 2 story Bungalow (Bieser). The original building materials were cedar shingles and redwood clapboard. Rick Bieser continued the same use of these materials on the addition, hip & gable roofs. John Rice, son of Jack & Ginny Rice, says when they lived there the house was "identical to the Martin's house" at 743 Park. |
| Story 1: | John Rice told us in 2003 that Robert Corey (715 Park) remembered the foundation of this house "being dug by mules dragging a huge iron shovel back and forth across the yard". John also told us, "The Terrace Park Lumber Company was in operation when I was a kid and once a week a train would push a car load of coal up the old side track to the conveyor to load it into the old trucks for delivery. In fact, the Bolands had just transferred the furnace over to fuel oil when my parents bought the house. We were never able to get the coal dust completely out of the basement. When my parents stripped off the old wall paper where the stairs go up to the second floor, we discovered hand painted oil drawings on the original walls. Old and faded but still visible." |
| Story 2: | John Rice (in 2003) told us he was "somewhat surprised by the date listed for construction on that house as 1928. I was only 5 when we moved there, but I remember the Bolands telling us the house was 'over 40 years old' - which, if he was correct, in 1961 would have put the construction date at around 1921. On the wall in the old garage, there was an old car license plate that was from the year 1925. My Dad always thought that was the date the house was built but I don't think we ever confirmed it." |
| Story 3: | Tecla Clara Wherle at this address
in 1953.
Earl Boland grew up living with his grandmother, Techle Wherele.
After Techle moved to a nursing home, Barbara and Earl moved into that
house. Later it was sold to the Rice's. (information from Jim &
Virgie MacMillan, neighbors across the street at 722 Park) Tecla Clare Wherle walked her cow over the bridge every day to graze on 3 empty lots where later 319, 323 & 327 (owned by Mrs. Baldwin, 219 Oxford) Harvard were built. ??? (or was it just Rose Saap?) |
| Story 4: | During 1987 and 1988 the Biesers added 1000 ft. to the side of the house. They reworked the porch and gutters. Mim Nordloh was the architect for this addition. |
| Story 5: | Mrs. Earl Boland - president TP Garden Club 1933-34 |
