Photo taken in 1997 by Farwell T. Brown of the house, built in 1880, at 3111 Oakland Street which was moved to Kelley, Iowa, in 1997. The Story County Habitat for Humanity purchased three lots in Kelley with a grant from the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD). Thanks to Ames resident Peggy Faden, Habitat learned of this available old house in Ames. Faden had been in contact with Gwendolyn Miller Hagerup, who lives in Wisconsin but had had the house deeded to her and her brother Ellard Miller. Hagerup had grown up in the house and was reluctant to see it demolished, so Faden suggested that she contact Habitat and have the house moved to Kelley for one of their affordable housing remodeling projects.
