Move to Idylwood

Move to Idylwood

In approximately 1951 mom and dad bought the house at 5065 Idylwood on the north side of Beaumont.

This photo of the Idylwood house is probably 59-60 vintage, after the addition that Dad added.

The left side of the front of the house was the result of an expansion my dad did in ’58 or so. He added a couple of feet to half of the front of the house and to the left side. Amazing that he did this himself with the help of a few friends and his brother-in-law, Gordon Thomas.
