This is the home I grew up in until I was 11. When we moved to Florida. I don't have a lot of good pictures of it but I remember it fondly. My nephew happens to be in NY now. So I asked him to take a picture of the old house if he had time. He did such an awesome job and went today. He only arrived yesterday!

Yes, that is me truly sitting on the steps. The front yard had a slopping small hill to the sidewalk and a big maple tree in front.

| Old House how it looks now |
Here is the house today. The little hill has been leveled and walled in. The lions do not fit my memory of the old home. There looks like a lot of other plants are now in the front yard. And they painted the red brick front but left the big bricks or rocks natural.

Below I am sitting in the upper level of the front yard just in front of the front door. Here you can see on of the garage doors is open. In those days they were manual, you had to get out of the car to open and close them.

Here is my nephew, Kevin standing in front of the house in the drive way. It looks like the bay window and garage have been updated. Well it has been 54 years since I lived in the house, they would have to be updated. I wonder what it looks like inside.
