I have multiple views of that property in my file because I came to the same conclusion that you did. It is owned by the Salvation Army. The property was gifted to them by the previous owner. If you look at the old photo that was published, the one that supposedly came from the archives in the Puget Sound gov’t. office, you can see elements of this house and property in the old photo.
bgill, I’m really impressed with your singling out this property. Tell me why exactly you picked it, please. It had to be more than the lay of the land.
Thanks for posting the picture of the white house. Can you post the garage side, please?
No, the white house isn’t the Obama house but it is of the same era. On the 13th street side, the steps from the street to the house and the lower level garage are obvious similarities. Then there is the lay of the land with the rise from street level. The next few lots appear to belong to what looks like the backside of a large apartment building complex. The land rise continues there but today is vacant of homes.
The other side of the street doesn’t have the land rise. Plus, here’s the biggie - that side of the street shows odd numbered addresses whereas the Obama address is an even number.
Now, back to the Ann/Anne/Anna name thing. I’ve never understood how so MANY references are for Anne/Anna when her name was plain old everyday Ann. A-N-N. Plain and simple. Why would so many go to the effort of making it longer? Many times Anna is pronounced Au-nna which, imo, is a totally different name.
