Message Board Post:
Hi, and thanks. I have been in here for about four months. I have been told by a former
owner that he had a framed set of photos of the house hung up. He got them from a
relative of William Houpt who showed up one day at the house doing some geneology
research. Was that you? What is your relationship? Anyhow, the photos disappeared at
some point last year. The neighbor showed me the wall on which they hung. The last owner
was very careless with the house. I would LOVE anything you have to keep in a binder here.
I already have some neat stuuf from the history office at the NA library. This includes
the copy of original building permit by William 1893. And amazingly, the man at the
history office purchased an old lamp in this house when it was an antique shop in the
50's and 60's. He gave this to me for Christmas, asking that it stay with the
house permanently. You are more than welcome to come to the house any time you like. My
phone number is 606 316-6845. And, !
yes, I would be thrilled to have ANY photos or documents as far back as you can go, and
especially early photos of the Houpts. BTW, I was able to research William's
gravesite, and put a wreathe there for Christmas. Take care, and I hope to hear from you
by email or phone. Greg Yurkanin, arrow62@bellsouth.net....606 316-6845
