Caruth home. - 13 years ago
The old home place is being redone. Cemetery will remain. The old home will turn into the CARUTH Foundation office--- while a new building to the northwest a few feet will be new SUMMERLEE Foundation building... I saw them strip off the outer skin of the old home. Very interesting what was underneath. The SF is moving from their high rise digs from Toll road / Luther/ Northwest Hwy--by curtis flatt - DHS Archives
