Of course I had to go back and check - I am researching the history of my house - and found in 1891 it was wooden (it has stucco all over it now, so we were not sure), two stories, 6 rooms.<br /><br />The main house, before they added on the enclosed porch and kitchen addition in some unknown year - there are 4 rooms - well, six I guess if you count the bathroom and laundry room.

I too had thought it was a fraction, maybe referring to their land division (though it seemed all too frequent for my ancestors to live on the "West half". Now I know they all just had wooden 1 story two room houses. I too will have to go back and adjust my interpretations.Col Murrayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322444095896162190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8641680.post-62637154566663990962013-06-06T14:54:10.091-04:002013-06-06T14:54:10.091-04:00Interesting info about the houses!
