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.

Home Improvement gets underway here and throughout the nation. (Joe Tompkins
