With each successful strawberry harvest, the two would expanded on the size of their home. They added a kitchen on the back of the house, then built a second story with two bedrooms, and finally a room off of the kitchen. Their home was located on Eleventh Street, which is now Harris Street, but back then it was known as Strawberry Lane.
