Have been looking for grants to help restore this 100+ old home, everything I see about grants is a scam - a money rip-off.
Can't some one help find grants?? or whatever to help fix it up - - does a company such as roofing, siding and windows that need a house to show case their
products in Culver, Indiana and the Lake Maxinkuckee area?
Here is the history of the house. In 1900 Ezra and his first wife Mary A. J. was in
North Bend Twp. Starke county Indiana but by the 1910 census
they were living in Culver and the house remained into the Hawkins name and Estate untill 1944.
trying to sell some things on ebay as I can that no longer need that I collected in years past even things David saved and bought me they are meaningless
if I can't save the house - but dealing with an ancient computer, our bad economic times and people telling my they are not worth anything. Trinkets do not
pay the bills nor fix a house up -- anything I will be selling and will be
limited - is at Maxinkuckee Galon Ebay. I am also working up a page for Vintage Culver, Culver
Military Academy and Lake Makinkuckee postcards postcards to try and sale on my own -
the postcards are listed here.
Maybe I have to high of hopes - maybe it is a lost cause to hope... Want to know more about the house Contact me at:
Burns House.
It's all I have - I am no longer to proud to ask for help in fact in am DESPERATE - All I want is my house that David gave me - maybe to be able to
return to it in my old age probably before - tho I am feeling so much older than I am - or will my dream fail? Beginning to wonder if it will ever
be a reality.
In 1994 I was told the David Boswell Burns walks the floors at night!
Does he????? I have no idea, I never heard him if he did!
Major needs right now:
- Roof
- The Front window which was vandalized in March of 2006
- last would be the carport which was destroyed by Commonwealth Engineering and the sewer Project
- Trees - sometime in between as all the Green colored leaf Sugar Maple trees seem to be dying out in Culver the to in thr front of the house
seems to have been affected - a Walnut Tree has gracious decided to grow by the back lundry room window; a cautlpa tree a few feet away; the
magnolia seems ti have weathered a sever pruning due to being hit by lighting & wind storm; trees would like to see replace them is the natice
Sycamore , the state tree - tulip, some mighty oaks of a couple of varties - if will fit on lot and around house.
I have enterd the Bee Windows make overs... enter every online Publisher Clearing house that comes through - in hopes of....
I am still hanging on to the house at Culver - WHY - because it is mine - because David left it to me -
Becasue back in 1992 I done alot of stone work on it my self to try and make it look different to improve it
here are some of the pictures ; there are about 30 more I think
but I am hving trouble uploading to the site becaus e this is a 98SE - and been having troubles any way and no my Yahoo messenger expires on 15 August
and it keeps trying to update tell me it failed...I am at my wits end and trying not to take a hammer to this thing.
I try not to cry each time I go there - into it - but if not outwardly I do inwardly - wonder what would of been if David had been interested in
caring for the house (he lost interest in doing any work on it back about 1962 for some reason); the front porch windows were put in in 1961 as
temporary..., if he would of lived just a few years longer - if he had left me provided for - if he had allowed me to work.... all the "ifs" that can't
be changed... It would be nice to be able to live it it again even if part time....wonder if it will ever happen...could walk to the library and do
research work in the history room...
