In 1953 they sold the house to Mr. and Mrs. Phillip Davenport, who owned it for a decade and then sold it to Lawrence Shedd in 1963. The house then passed to Larry and Chris Steele, and to Andrew Knutson in 1998.

July is hot afternoons and sultry nights and mornings when its joy just to be alive. July is a picnic and a red canoe and a sunburned neck and a softball game and ice tinkling in a tall glass. July is a blind date with summer.
