Mrs. Culp has lived on Madison since 2001. Mrs. Culpâ€™s family also lived on Madison Avenue in the early 1950â€™s. The home was built in 1941. Mrs. Culp has updated the kitchen and painted the inside of the house. She has also added a new roof. The house has an attic fan and Mrs. Culp reports it is the first house in Montgomery to have an attic fan. There is a door in the middle of the house that goes to every room in the downstairs area. Mr. Tom Conner, who worked for the Montgomery Advertiser, lived there a number of years and had an art studio in the back.
MRS. LAURICE CULP (as told to Brenda Bryant)

The Belser House was built in 1908 by architect Richard S. Whatley as his personal residence. It is a Craftsman style house for which he was noted for. He also designed several houses and bungalows in Montgomery, including Capitol Heights. The Belser family purchased the house in 19?? and owned it until 1993. The house is stucco over lath and has high-pitched roof and several gables, no symmetry. Original oak beams adorn the foyer and dining room. Upstairs is a 30 feet plus greatroom known as the ballroom. The house has finely crafted woodwork throughout. Many rooms have low, oak picture moldings. Floors are heart of pine, main rooms have different craftsman mantels. Fred Williams and Bobby Golden purchased the house in 2002. Bobby is the gardener and will gladly talk about the yard and gardens.

The original owners built this house in the English Cottage style in 1931 with a loan for $3,500. It remained in the same family until my brother bought the house in 1981. I bought the house in 1984 with the idea of staying here a few years and then moving on to a new house. My brother made some updates including removing layers of wallpaper, removing outdated carpet, and updating the kitchen. My major projects have included installing central heat and air and landscaping the backyard. The floor plan reflects a different style of the time, with the biggest rooms being the living and dining rooms which is nice for family gatherings. These rooms still have the original brass light fixtures. Originally the house was heated with a coal furnace. In the 1940â€™s it was removed and that space converted to a half bath. The rest of the floor plan is exactly the way it was built.

The Lazenby family would like to say thank you to the Capitol Heights Association for choosing our yard to be yard of the month. It is a real honor to be chosen and recognized out of the many well kept yards in our neighborhood. We didn’t do the work ourselves. We have a young man from our church whom trims and cuts the yard. A very special thanks goes to Andrew and his father, Billy. Our family has been a part of this great neighborhood for 24 years. We have very good old neighbors that have lived on this block for a long time. Weâ€™ve recently had a new neighbor to move in and we hope they will enjoy living here as much as we have. It is good to see young families becoming a part of this great community. Again, thank you and God bless you all. THE LAZENBYâ€™S
