This Laughlen house has a raised roof, enclosed porch and rear addition.

This one has had its entrance moved to the side.

The original Laughlen house can still be seen on the left hand side.

This is how it looked in the 1990s.

2009 This one has had its front porch enclosed and has an addition built onto the rear.

The same house a few years later. The shutters on this nicely remodeled home give it an original look. It's now over 100 years old.
