Mezzanine Frames Drawing Room - When Judge and Mrs. James R. Breakey Jr. decided to remodel the stately pillared home built in 1830 which belonged to Judge Breakey's parents, a major consideration was to build a room to house Judge Breakey's law books and the book cases which he inherited from the law office of a friend. The result is an attractive drawing room, music room and library which is framed by a second-floor mezzanine where more books and Mrs. Breakey's collection of dolls rest. The red-carpeted stairway has a wrought iron bannister which extends around the mezzanine upstairs.

MOVING EARHART HOME - The H. B. Earhart residence, Geddes Rd., is being moved one quarter of a mile to make way for the new home, the foundations of which are faintly visible on the left of the photograph shown above. The house is moving to its new site near the river, 1,200 feet south of the road where it will become the home of L. C. Hunter, nephew of the Earharts. Daily progress is 150 feet. An intervening gully is being spanned by bridgework of timbers.
