2556 Scottwood-Did Lathrop Build This?

*Walter (Bill) Lathrop recalls that his grandparents moved often, building houses on speculation and reselling them.

*Roger of 2540 Scottwood tells us that 2544 Scottwood is the "same exact house" as 2556 Scottwood except for some minor things like windows, trim and a few other things.
