We've been pouring cash into our house, but recently we made our best investment so far. And it only cost $15.
We managed to get our hands on historic photos of the Centenarian. The Puget Sound Regional Archives has photos of most houses in Seattle since 1937. For record keeping, tax purposes, and to generally keep track of change over time, the City photographs each home every so often. So we got a few snapshots of our little bungalow here in Ravenna - its seen good times, its seen bad, and its seen times at which it should have been demolished. We thought our little place looked shabby when we bought it, but look at 1982 - I think our house was ground zero for dealing crack.
The last photo is from the day we bought the place. Stay tuned for one final photo, when we finish our renovations!
