[or-roots] old Portland area addresses

[Dan M]

607 Liberty
I had a lease option on  a house on Liberty,
end of the block, our kids went to the Woodlawn School.
   2 story square house been some time ago 1970's some time.

I would have to look at the maps,
 but this address sure sounds familiar.

 Ok checked the Maps->

Ahh yes thats it,
the house had a dirt basement at the time
and I put in cement in the front half so the kids would have a place out of
the rain to play. I would say it covered 1/3 of that lot.

We used to sit on the front porch and lots of people came to visit.
