Tell us about your memories of the house?

I moved to this house when I was about 19 with my family, which consisted of me, my younger brother, older sister and mom and dad. We all had our own bedrooms, but our family grew over the years, as families do! My sister had a baby who lived with us for a year until they both moved out and my grandfather came to live with us and moved into our basement. He was a stroke victim confined to a wheelchair for over 10 years. He finally passed away in 2004, but NOT in the house. He had died in the hospital after suffering with many ailments over the years.
We have experienced NO in-house deaths since my family bought the house in 1996, but I don't know about the previous owners experiences. As a founding member of a paranormal group, Staten Island Paranormal Society, I can say with certainty that this house is NOT currently haunted by anyone or anything. :)

Sometime in the 1950s house was sided with asbestos shingles. Also, Patrick HANNON renovated upstairs unit.
After Fedorzcaks owned 171 Lake Avenue a fence was set about 5 feet from the south property line so family could have access to the side door.
Tell us about your memories of the house?
During the 1950s and one of the hurricanes, a huge maple tree that was on the north side of the house was blown down and it fell across Somerville Place blocking the roadway. The tree stood about where the current north extension is. The attached photos shows the house during pre-1900 days- dirt road, no sidewalk.
