My first one was 15-19 Parsons Blvd, Whitestone, Queens, New York. My grandfather George Joseph Hartmann and my Dad also George Joseph Hartmann built the house. I am not sure if that means they had sweat equity in the house or if they had it built.
This the only picture I have that shows the most of the front of the house. It had three bed rooms, one and a half baths, a finished basement, and an attic. I learned how to roller skate in that basement, with key skates.
In this picture you can see the side of the house and our mud room and the path to the back yard is this way. We had a split level front yard and back yard. How I wish I had more pictures of this house. I always thought it was a large house but when I went back and saw the outside of it when I was 21 or so, I thought it looked very small.
This is the picture I found of my first house on Google Earth.
Here we are the summer of 1959 in front of our new home in Fort Lauderdale Florida, guess what we are facing the house, so you can't see it. Now we have a palm tree instead of a maple.
This picture shows more of the front of the house. This is when I was a Senior in High School. This house has three bedrooms and two baths. While I was in high school my Dad had the swapped the location of the kitchen and the dinning room and added on a Florida room.
In May of 2009 my hubby and I went back to Florida for a vacation. We drove by the old Florida house. So it is still there also. This address is
5148 NE 4 Ave
Fort Lauderdale, Florida

This picture shows the maple tree we had in front of the house and the view down the street. I have no idea why my parents didn't take front on pictures of the house. I know that I do. We moved out of this house in June of 1959. I have no idea how much my parents sold it for.

Hey! I thought this entry was a fun read... You sure have lived all over the place. Sure beats my Idaho/Utah life.
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed this post and could really relate on two counts since I have lived in a number of houses and states and especially since I live in a suburb of Fort Lauderdale!
