My family and I lived here from 1976 to 1982/3. When we lived here the lower right barn was not there but a corn crib was, we took it down, put in circular drying bins, built a corral behind the barn, took down the small henhouse above the barn, as it was in a state of disrepair. The outbuilding in the lower left corner was used for equipment storage, we eventually took it down and built a very large pole shed with more corn storage area. Clearly we raised a lot of corn, the farm acreage at the time was almost 400, not sure if it has been subdivided since then. Also there were fewer trees around the home when we moved in and the large stand of trees behind the home was cleared for another pasture. We raised around 200 head of beef cows, several horses, chickens, turkeys, rabbits and eventually sold the cows and raised sheep. Because we did not raise dairy the beautiful barn was not functional as it was set up for dairy on the lower floor, however we put thousands of bales of hay in the upper area, what a great place to play, had hay forts, balanced on the beams and swung from a massive iron pulley that ran across the interior roof beam. The sunrise from the east end of the valley was beautiful and living on the small river was fun as a child, we ice skated on it when it froze. The original home had 5 bedrooms upstairs and was allegedly used as a carriage stop and housed the school teacher who worked at the one room school across the road but still on the property. When moving in we removed 6 or more layers of wall paper from the small rooms upstairs and found some early layers were very old newspapers. It was a fascinating look into the history of the area and I loved living there during those years. The school house had been moved north up the hill to the next little town, Roscoe, where Comstock Farms are located by '76. The foundation still existed in the pasture across the road from our home. My parents bought the Roscoe store for my grandparents when the retired, the old place was on the national historic register and we spent many days tending store with my grandparents, was a great experience. My sister, Robin, and I graduated from PIHS in 80 and 82 respectively, my brothers Chris and Joel were 9 and 11 years younger so attended grade school before we moved to Snohomish, WA in 1983. My dad, Bob Richardson now lives in Texas and my Mom in Federal Way, WA. My brothers, sister and I are on the west coast: Issaquah, WA, Dallas,OR and Tracy, CA.
