Ihti glwuA)tCane hone No matter how discouragingly out-dated an older house may look, it can bt transformed into a modern home indistinguishable from its brand-new neighbors. , ' Two cases in point are the homes shown on this page. Both were originally farm houses set in the midst of fruit orchards between Pioneer Heights and South Village in the Morn ingside School district. When the. orchard land was sub-divided, fine -new residences mushroomed in place of the cherry trees in aparkling contrast to the two old houses. The Harvey Peterson home, below, was moved to a nearby new site, over a new concrete-block basement. A two-car garage was added; interior walls torn, out to make place for the modern open floor plan; new roof and siding nailed over the old. The result, as the picture to the right shows, is an up-to-date exterior which, though still unfinished, promises many more years of better living for the Peterson family at their new 951 Red Hill Drive address. , " Mr. and Mrs.' John Harnsberger, 3080 Hulsey Avenue, also moved their 50-year-old house to a neighboring lot over a new daylight basement. New windows, lowered ceil ings, siding, roof and a two-car garage made a remarkable change in the old house. The main floor space was enlarged from 960 square feet to 1616 square feet. Although they used some professional help at first, the Harnsbergers are working to finish the house in the best do-it-yourself tradition. For more ideas on how Salem families can remodel and modernize older homes, this special section of valuable suggestions and information has been prepared as Operation Home Improvement gets underway here and throughout the nation.
