2030 Winona Avenue:      This home was built in 1928 in the Bungalow cottage style. Michael Pitts initially moved into this house in 1988. Later, when he and Jewell were married, she liked it so much they decided to make it their home. The house has undergone a complete transformation from the days when Michael lived there as a bachelor! Jewel loves to cook, so the first renovation to the home was the kitchen. The home maintains most of its original features, like the wood burning fireplace which is a favorite hangout for the family on chilly nights! The Pitts’ are delighted that their yard was chosen as Yard of the Month and are appreciative of their selection.

2101 Capitol Avenue:           When the Hughes family first saw this house, the grass was knee high and the home needed painting. They decided to look anyway and when they saw the columns between the living and dining rooms and the bookcases on either side of the fireplace, they were sold! They moved into the home in November 1961. They have done numerous repairs to the house over the years: painting, repaired cracked plaster, replaced a concrete porch, remodeled the kitchen (to include designing and finishing the cabinets themselves), and remodeled both bathrooms. While they have kept the charm of the older homes, the have managed to all have all the
modern conveniences!
