Brown Street Quiz -- Room with a View

1956 -- 2006

Answer to the previous picture: You're in the living room looking northeast.

 

The older siblings knew this as the Milton house where Bond and Marion Milton raised Ricky and Kay.  Bond was the quintessential engineer who puttered around in a huge workshop filled with every tool imaginable.  He'd love to sharpen our lawnmower blades but would never mow his own lawn, usually hiring a Schmitt boy to do the job until Ricky got old enough.  He would go into old Detroit mansions, buy up their organs, and remove them.  (Did the houses wake up in bathtubs in strange hotel rooms later?)  His basement held rows and rows of pipes from one of his projects.  I don't think he ever got that organ to work.

Marion was one of Eileen's best friends.  They would typically take a break around 10 in the morning and Marion would cross the street to have coffee with Eileen.  Anyone got more information on the Milton's that we can add here?

This next picture should be pretty easy:
