TO HELENA AND BACK (in five days)

House that my family lived in when my sister and I were small.
House is on a nice tree-lined street

I found the address of our house from the Census on Ancestry.com. On that Census, I was three and my sister was one. I have other pictures I want to put on but need to decide which ones.  In the meantime this is the one I wanted to post.  I had no idea that the same house would be there.  It is so exciting to realize that my sister and I walked down that street. This street has many old houses and all seem to be well kept up.  It is a street of old houses and large trees.  The house has been made into a duplex .  The left side is the newer side.  It is a large house and has a basement.  One memory I have is the coal furnace in the basement.  A couple of girls were coming out and we talked to them briefly.  They said that old coal furnace is still there.
