Title: Miss Lou's House
"This is a great example of how well made houses used to be. Look at this house and then close your eyes and think about it being over a hundred years old and serving as a home for different families/people. Having lived in it one winter, I wonder how cold the people who lived here a long time ago got. Even with fireplaces, gas heaters, and lots of electric blankets I got pretty cold a few times. Most people call this Miss Lou's house, for Lou Wheeler, but I think of it as "Arcadia's house" because everyone around here or from around here knows where it is and whose it was."
