I'll end the series of pictures of the Arden Park House with a picture of Dennis and Dennis W, the current owner(two Dennis's) in front of the house at the end of the tour. Looks like they've been buddies for years. Dennis W was tremendously gracious showing us around. I'm very grateful for his time and generosity. The house is certainly in good hands despite his grumblings about past struggles with 'Orangeburg' piping (postwar cut-rate piping which was basically coated cardboard)
He also told us about the neighbors. The Wohlebs are still next door, I went by and talked to Dr. Wohleb who was very frail, through the screen door. He did remember my parents and mentioned the xmas cards that mother still sends.
Dennis W refers to the area as "The Park" I can't identify a comparable area in Seattle. During my youth, I thought it was a tremendously mundane area of suburbia without much character. Looks different now with the huge trees and it's own identity.
Farewell to Arden Park!
