1413 Victoria Street

In some instances, generations of the same family have retained ownership of their Cottontown properties. On September 15, 1924, Sloan Orr entered into contract with the Bagnal Cunningham Lumber Company to build a fashionable bungalow within Bellevue. The cost of his family’s new home – $7,250.00 – was a considerable sum at that time. Surviving documentation stipulates the exact interior appointments called for in the buyer/builder agreement. Four generations later Orr’s investment remains appreciated and cared for by members of his family.
