This photo of 1606 East 15th Avenue in Cedar Cottage is courtesy of Catherine Loukas.
The house was built sometime just before 1910 on the height of land on the corner of 15th Avenue and Fleming Street
for retired sheet metal company owner Thomas Bell. This photo was taken sometime after 1948 and before 1955
when St. Joseph's Church was destroyed by fire. The woman in the photo is believed to be Mrs. Pearl I. Dixon
who inherited the house from lumberman Frank King.
