Van's Cottages Searcy AR 1953 Harding College. Where?

These remind me of the little cottages I used to wonder about on Race Street when I was a child. They were on or just adjacent to the site where Captain D's now sits. Anybody else remember some like these on Race?

Yep. The Van's Cottages were where Captain Dee is now. There were two rows of them 4 facing East and 4 Facing west. They were owned by my grandparents, I. B and Linnie Van Patten who lived in a Rock house directly across Race St from them, where Kroger parking lot is now. Bill Durham ran an auto repair and auto junk yard on the South corner of Moss St. and he and Iree and their daughter lived upstairs over the auto repair shop. (Gloria Durham and I played together when we were 5-6-7 yrs old ) there was a China Berry tree in my grandparents front yard. Those round berries looked like yellow marbles. Lots of memories of this area .... Mary Kathryn Van Patten James. .... my younger brother, Irvin Van Patten's memories are correct in his post... I remember those gasoline pumps with the gasoline inclosed in glass cylinders and you could see it slosh when gasoline was pumped!!! That service station was on the corner of Moss and Race. Moss St was dirt and gravel then.... mostly dirt. MkJ
