Roscoe Stevens

Pat writes:
Roscoe Stevens built and remodeled homes in the Culver area from the 1920's through the 1960's.
In the mid 1960's he and his wife Josephine photographed many of these homes. The back of the photos had names but no addresses. I have located some of the places using the 1952 phone books which is on the Culver Public Library webstite.
There is no order to the list, this is just how we put them into the scanner. Your help would be much appreciated.

The ones of Culver and Lake Maxinkuckee connection I have put a smaller version on the page along with the original scan if it turned out to be larger and a link to it is provided as "larger view". Otherwise all other photos are a link from the name and a photo only will appear.
Please contact Patricia with any information on the homes below - and if regarding Lake Maxinkuckee and Culver I would appreciate the information also
