Houses tlial were built for homes Willi no thought of any oilier pur pose, liavo been put to such foreipn uses as riding stables, funeral par lois and headquarters for boot lrggera. Solid, well-built houses have lent themselves to remodeling tune and again for some rather unusual occu pations and to roomy of lice quarters. More and more, business firms arc finding advantages In remodeled old residential buildings over rent ing new more modern office space which is often cramped and rents at a sky-high fee. Turning bark the paces of his tory In looking at old homes that have been converted, brings to light mtlcposts In Hie progress of our town and mementoes of men who have contributed their part to the betterment of the community and gone on. The eight old homes featured in this article are only a very small percentage of those in this city which have been made over into business offices and the dates are as exact as oldtimers could say off hand without unearthing cobwebby old records. Ward s Home To Funeral Parlor The property at 925 High where Ward s Funeral- home now stands was purchased from Will Wood, druggist, in 1925. by the late Mr. and Mrs. William Steinmets. There v as an old ramshackle house on the lot and this was dismantled. Jn 1926 or 192T. Stelnmeu built the liixleus of the present building as a home. Sometime between then and I9o3 it was used as a Mineral parlor as well as living quarters and when the Wards purchased the property ill 193J they remodeled it. still using it as a funeral parlor Extensive remodeling has been done from time to time since and the present three-story building will be further improved by alterations and additions with work to be done this spring, 1948. Oliver's Home, Church, Real Estate Office Olivers real estate office. 228 N. 8th. is located in a building put up in 1911 by Mr. and Mrs. M. P. Evans for a home. The Evans lived there until the Evans apartments were put up at loth and Main, when they moved into the new building and rented the old one on 8th. Somewhere between 1938 and 1940 the former home was sold to the Apostolic Faith church. It was then raised, the stone work put in and a peneral remodeling done. When the church moved from Klamath Falls in 1946. Nicholas Long purchased the property, con verted the building into offices and sold it in 1947 to R. P. Oliver, real estate man. Oliver has big plans for more changes to be made this coming spring. Including building a third story. Brown's Home. Bootlegger's; Riding Academy. Store Soon after the S. 6th road was finished in 1906. the building now numbered 3049 S. 6th. was erected for a home. That was about 1908. First it was a home, then a "blind mule" or bootlegger's head quarters, in about 1919 or maybe 1922. The property was used as a riding academy where Mack Bar bour (now rodeo stockman i kept saddle horses for about three years round 1937, and afterward pur chased by J. R. Brown. Brown remodeled the building for use as a store for selling farm im piements and it has been used for this purpose until spring. 1947. when the business was moved into the adjacent building. The old structure will be moved In spring 1948 over to Pershing way, to be fixed up as residential apart ments. Wherland Home, Parsonage, Accountant Office This building located at the cor ner of 8th and High came to be the accountant office of Margaret S. "Wherland through many phases since 1908 when it was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Evans. It stood across the street on the aite of the present Fremont school when the couple, grandparent of Joe and Percy Evans and Joy Evans Rolph of this city, first acquired the title. Twice the structure was re modeled for a home before It was moved to its present location about 1922. Here it was gone over again, improving it further for home use by members of the Evans family, and later was used as rental prop erty, still as a residence.
