In 1948, when I was 5 years old, my parents decided that I should go to school "in town". The town they selected was Miles City, Montana, about 100 miles east of the farm/ranch in North Dakota. This was not the nearest possiblity, and was apparently chosen because my grandparents, Hattie and Aud Nunn had already left their homestead ranch and moved to Miles City.
My parents bought a newly constructed house on a south edge of the then developed area.
This house is located at 2021 Stower Street, on the corner of Stower and S. Merriam. At the time we moved in there was only one house visible directly to the south out the picture window. Beyond that was the old river channel and the unknown. There was development along streets running to the south just to the ease and west. In the four or five years we lived there we watched the area develop.
During the first summer my parents planted two small trees next to the window and a few flowers along the front. An awning was necessary to shade the living room from the direct south sun.
Harold and Annanelle settled in a created a home for myself and Tim. A lawn was planted and trees were put in along the street.
Two more pictures show the east end of the house and the Tim on the back porch.
We lived in this house four or five years, until it was sold, apparently to finance construction of the Custer Apartments, and we moved in with Hattie Nunn during its construction.
