I looked up the realestate info for the house and found:
Beds: 5+ Baths: 2.0 Finished Sqft: 2,356
Floors: 2 Lot Size: 5,841 Style: Multi-Family (5+ Unit)
Year Built: 1909 or 1912, found different dates
Sold on 07/01/10 $200,000, Tax (2010) $2,097
Community: Greater Grand Crossing
The house was completely redone inside, very modern and up to date. When I lived there from approx. 1947 until about 1953 the 2nd floor was usually rented out and the only tenants I recall were a medical student and his wife, Charles and Peggy Marquart, he eventually moved to Phoenix and was well though of in his profession.
About 1953 the neighborhood was changing to blacks and the house was sold and me moved only about 2 blocks, to a rented 2nd floor apartment, this was a mistake as the minority population soon was moving into this area and we again moved to 7332 S. Campbell Ave, Chicago where my grandparents remained for many years in a rented 2nd floor apartment.
My mother and I ended up going to a newly constucted house at 7901 Redondo Lane, Laguna Woods, Orland Park, Ill about 1956, this was when my mother married my stepfather, Robert Norman Anderson. My grandparents remained on Campbell Ave for years before moving to a 2nd fl rented apartment in Blue Island, Ill.
After my grandfather died my grandmother moved into a newly constructed 'mother in law' apartment with my mother. As I recall my stepfather had died of cirosis of the liver by that time and both my grandmother and mother lived in that house until they each died in turn.
The house was sold after my mothers death in 2002 and I received half of the proceeds, or about 80K.

Under the Misc. Section
I found the below regarding my 'step-uncle', my stepfathers brother, their family lived across the street from us in Laguna Woods. Robert and Hank Anderson purchased lots in the new subdivision of Laguna Woods at the same time and my stepfather substantially built the house himself, bringing in contractors as needed to do some of the work. Hank and Shirley had their house build and moved in several years later. I last saw them when I went up to settle my mothers estate about 2002. Hank died five years later.

This was the 2nd snow of this winter. Snow happens in this area every few years, however, this one dropped about 7 inches in Kennesaw and Atlanta metro and will remain on the ground for at least two days. This is unusual and is setting some records. TV stations are reporting this to the exclusion of all other programming. Very annoying - I already know is snowed, so hey 'shut up already' and put back the regular shows!
Our first election for one Owner BOD member drew five candidates, the winner later resigned citing the lack of co-operation from the 2 Developer BOD members. The next 2 elections drew no candidates, the 2nd place finisher in the first election continued to serve. The Dec. 6, 2010 election had 2 candidates, neither made any effort that I am aware of to let the Owners know what they intended to do during their tenure in office.
