Hello! I was researching our 100 year old home in Washington, DC, and came across the real estate listing from the original sale of the plot:
ReplyDeletehttp://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/sn84026749/1911-09-23/ed-1/seq-9/
It was sold to William E. Shively and Olive M. Shively in September of 1911 for $10 (it is the first entry in the Southeast section of sales). I was wondering if you could point me to any information on them. Thanks!
