State Michigan
City or Town Battle Creek
Address or Location 515 W. Jackson/ 612 Kalamazoo St.
Family Name Benedict/ previous family McCourty
Years In House 1947 - 1978
People from seven to one (after my mother's death)
Work My parents owned the Battle Creek Dairy and the house was sold to us by Mrs. McCourty, the previous owner of the dairy. The dairy building was next door. Mr. McCourty was a WW I veteran as was my father. Not too many years previous, horses pulled the milk delivery wagons.
Changes to House After my parents built a new dairy building a couple blocks down the street, the old dairy building was converted into a rental home. Then after all of us children had left home, the house itself was converted to two apartments, my parents occupying one and tenants the other. Dad also renovated the old barn/ house stable into a large three-story garage for the milk trucks and our car. When he and my brother began to dig into the lower level, they discovered a concrete floor, covered with river mud and horse manure. He jacked up and supported the main floor. Previously, it wasn't safe to drive vehicles into. Over the years, he added considerable fill soil to extend the back yard toward the Kalamazoo River and eventually planted some vegetables. The house was sold about 1988. It has now been torn down. I don't know who owns the property.
Memory I like exploring the attic of the barn. Also, in the basement, I created my own little room in the "Michigan" (half) basement. The house was probably built in the very early 1900's. Some of the windows had stained glass at the top. The picture below is not our house, but the new dairy building a couple of blocks away. It is now (I believe) owned by a printing company.
Other Information I was actually quite a lonely child in this house as most of my siblings had left home by 1950. I didn't know very many neighborhood kids, either.
