[CBQ] Denver Pacific Carr section house

[MICHAEL PANNELL <michael.pannell@btinternet.com>]

Good news i went with some trepidation to check on the DP section house i 
discovered at Carr last year, and found a young new owner who has done a 
wonderful refurbishment on what he thought was 1903 residence. Last time i 
visited it it was repossesed and derelict and for sale for $44,000.
Needless to say he was surprised to see me and the photo i had for him of his 
house around the turn of the century when it was next to the tracks, i also 
showed him the measurements listed in the 1896 inventory, we measured his 
residence and the addition and its within inches of being correct. 

I was very happy and so was he and he may well accompany us on the Terry Ranch 
history walk on 11th when we look at the foundations of the Athol DP section 
house. Its always nice to enthuse someone else with early western history and 
tell them their house is 34 years older than the records suggest !
