I was wondering if anybody living in Lemmon could help me identify this house. This is the house that my Grandmother was born and raised in and I would like to see it when I come out to visit. I am hoping that because Lemmon is such a small town that maybe someone would recognize it.
Apparently we do not have a large following from Lemmon. I did try to find a Lemmon historical society, but I struck out on that project. I did find out that the population of Lemmon is 1,200 +. With that size of population, the town probably had street names and house address's. If you can dig up an old address, finding the house should be a piece of cake.
The website for the Lemmon Leader is The Lemmon Leader There is an email address given on the site. I suggest you email the pictures to the editor and ask them if anyone can recognize the house. Many times small town newspapers publish historical pictures and ask readers to identify the location or the people in the pictures. Good Luck!
You found it. That's amazing. How did you do that?
Thanks so much, I can't wait to come out and see the house. I'm sure glad it hasn't been torn down.
I found the house that is in the backround in the picture below. It's right across the street at what looks like 380 3rd St West. I also included another picture that has three identical houses in a row. They sure don't look like much. Just a square box with a chimney right in the middle. It does look like there is a barn and church in the background. These are probably gone by now.
Both of these pictures were taken around 1920. My grandmother is in the top right with a bow in her hair standing with all the other kids of Lemmon. Might be a school picture.
Those three houses that look alike, might be Sears Homes.
In 1908 Sears did blue prints, or even house packages and hundreds of them were built throughout the West. I know of several places in Montana that whole neighborhoods are Sears Homes and they are still standing. Remember though, back then, the building material was rough cut Hard Wood, and not Douglas Fir (pine) like they are today. Of course, back then, the walls were lucky to have newspaper for insulation.
Jim Edison owns that house now. It used to be Bonnie Kile's house.
