In 2015, while getting a haircut at the Hair Shed, Jackie connected us with a descendant of the Seburn family who built the house on our lot prior to ours.
When Jackie retires a couple years later, we find Rachel whose shop is visible from our home. It isn't long before we learn that Rachel grew up in our neighborhood and her grandfather knows a lot about our house.
After an in-depth conversation with Rachel's grandfather, we learn the identity of the bricklayer and stone mason. Harry Darnold and his partner Charley Walters were the masons who built the brick and stone portions of our house like the columns on the front porch.

Yours in gratitude for Aurora hairstylists and for the skilled masons who built our house,
Mary Jo
