This house was purchased in 1971 while empty for some time for less than $30k. It was occupied late in the year (November?).
With a two car garage converted into a "master bedroom", it had more than 2400 sq.ft.
Starting in the summer of 1980 and finishing the following year, I reroofed this house myself. The roof being replaced was an asphalt roof over a rotting cedar wood shingle roof. The roof had four valleys and therefore four separate ridges.
After removing both roofs, I replaced about 25-33% of the 1x4s used to support the wood shingles. I also replaced one of the rafters.
It took about 100 sheets of plywood to replace the roof.
I moved to Pittsburgh late October 1986 to work at Duquesne Systems. The children came up January 1987 by Greyhound bus. Their mother came up in the middle of the year (May?) and we looked at houses. We purchased 3823 (?) Baytree around July. I moved the family and some household goods up August 1987.
Summer of 1987 S returned to this house and stayed beyond of the summer. She returned only after a discussion she and I had on the subject.
She returned to this house for several additional summers.
This house was sold 1992, probably at a loss.
