BUNGALOW BUILT IN TREE TOP MAKES AIRY HOME (Jan, 1924)

BUNGALOW BUILT IN TREE TOP MAKES AIRY HOME

Built among the sawed-off branches at the top of a tree, but equipped with a roof garden and other luxuries, such as are found in modern homes, the abode of a Civil War veteran is one of the sights of a soldiers’ home in California. Preferring the airy dwelling to one on the ground, he rented the structure and fitted up comfortable quarters. Two large rooms, a kitchenette, and a veranda reached by an outer stairway, compose the building.

    Anyone else startled by the description of a “Civil War veteran”?
    I have friends who were alive in 1924 and though pretty young could have met a CW vet.
    Makes you realize how young this country is..

    I don’t suppose that tree house is still standing?
