This house was built by Grandpa Charles Fischer some time in the 1920’s. It is one block west from the LaFavor house on the same street (252 W. Stevens St.). My dad, “Onkel” George Fischer, bought this house in 1944 when I was 12 years old. I remember celebrating the end of WWII in 1945; VE Day was in March and VJ Day was in August. In 1946 I finished the eighth grade at St. Matthew School.
For the next five years I lived away from home at school, but lived here during vacation time. Then, for two more years, I lived here full time -- until marriage in December, 1953. I was graduated from the University of Minnesota in June, 1954, and started my two-year military obligation the following September.
