Ridge Road in South Arlington, VA

Here are two pictures of the same house.  As can be noted by the size of the Spruce tree in the front yard, there was some 40 years between the one on the right and the white house to the left. We lived here on South Arlington Ridge Road during much of the 60's and till '76 when we moved out to Fairfax County. The picture on the left was taken just a few years ago when we were back in the area. It was a very well built house that we bought from the White Sisters who were the daughters of a Minister and his wife that had lived in it since it was built back in the early '30's. The house was just 2-3 miles south of the Pentagon and just a few blocks from an Elementary and Junior Hi School. It was also  very convenient to the Ag Building and George Washington University. It's nice to be able to go back and see significant improvements in a house where you have pleasant memories. In addition to it being a very well built house, the location has had a lot to do with it's improvements and current value.
