7 Comments on Where was this house? Sleuths, do you remember it? Searcy AR rock house.
Thank you, Barbara for giving us another residence to sleuth.
Might this be the Dee Southerland home, 909 E. Race, phone 1374. It had a blue tiled roof, reminiscent of something in New Mexico. There were several Sutherland children, one about my age was Carlton.
Am I wrong or am it wrong?
Well Mr. Google Man doesn't find anything like it at 909 E. Race now. I didn't know the Southerlands of Southerland Lumber fame.
Mary, that statement reminds me of my kid who used to say, "I didn't lose it. I just can't find it." LOl
Anita, since there is no address I can't verify the exact address but I'll bet you are warm in your guess.
Don, I don't know or remember the Southerland family or lumber company. Perhaps someone else who does remember them will know if it was their house.
I"m pretty sure this is the Southerland house...and it was demolished, along with the Eva Thompson house. next door (going west) ...to make room for more strip mall shops OR by Harding.
Barbara, drive by there (909 E. Race) today, and take a pic. please.
I'll consult Dr. Muncey's book to see if the Southerland Lumber Company is mentioned. Probably not, though. My '57 phone book has a half page in the "yellow" pages (they were white then)....Address: D K & S Tracks, lumber dept: call l0 and building materials dept call 238.
come on, Sleuths: help us out here.
Anita, 909 E. Race isn't far from Barbara's place of work. This is the approximate location.
I can see one business across the street that is 914 E. Race.
Anita and Don, I do think you are right about the house and the location is definitely right. Harding bought all the Race Street frontage along there and tore down the houses. Tina Daniel was operating her real estate school in the building, I think, when it closed and she had to move. Seems as if I remember real estate offices operating from here also. We'll have to keep sleuthing and add info. It was really a pretty good house when it went down.
Thanks, Don, for the current picture. I am absolutely SURE the house is the Dee Southerland home. I have spoken.
