A consolation might be that Harry Truman lived at Bess's parents home when he was 33, so its not too late for anyone am I wrong to assume it was a sprawling estate of some sort and not a 2,500 square foot box on a 70,000 square foot lot?
A 2500 sq. ft. house on an acre and a half is quite the home. I sure wouldn't call that a box on a lot.
Right now there's 4 of us here in a 1200 sq. ft. house. Now that's a box lol.
