This 1909 photograph shows ten-year-old Francis Paddock (right), his sister Elizabeth, age 3 (center), and their dog Fritz sitting pensively on the back porch of their new home at 1085 Westwood Avenue. They had just moved from their home in Fort Collins, Colorado because their father, Wendell Paddock, had accepted a position as a Professor of Horticulture at OSU.

This photo, circa 1922, was taken from a card labeled "Merry Christmas Dude, from the Lindenbergs". Dude, shown sitting in front holding the stuffed toy, was Dude (Frank) Higgs, who lived on Lincoln Road. The Lindenbergs were from a prominent Marble Cliff family that lived in what was known as the Country Club Subdivision, now Tarpy Woods.
