<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I'm not really sure when this house was built, but I was
told that it was 75 years old when we lived in it (1943 - 1948). I do know
that it was torn down a few days after we moved out of it. This was the
house of Jeremiah Shea. This is the best photo I have of
<STRONG>This Old House.</STRONG> Every picture my mother took of the front
of the house was a double exposure. That's Doug (left) and me sitting on
stairs.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>The second floor was two large rooms that were never
finished. My mother used the room on the right to hang laundry on rainy
days.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial>On the ground floor (from left to right) bedroom, living
room and kitchen. We had no electricity until the Willamette National
Lumber Mill was built. We did have several electric appliances that were
in storage in a small room behind the "bedroom". My mother promissed
waffles the first Sunday after we got electricity, but that didn't happen until
the second week.</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>I still have the 5 tube Philco radio my father bought at
the end of WWII; at White's Furnature in Sweet Home. I'm afraid to plug it
in to see if it still works. Oh! The programs we listened
to,</FONT></DIV>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Most of the Shea homestead is now under Foster Dam
Lake. :-(</FONT></DIV>
