In a period of about four years from
1957 until 1962 my mom
managed to move to four places. First she took title of the two older
small houses in Walla Walla, which were subsequently demolished to make
room for the hospital, then she moved to Portland, to a smaller house on
Lincoln just west of 39th Ave., then to the large house on Irving
St.
Finally she moved to the house at 516 S.E 17th St. in Portland which was to be the family's last move. Here is the Lincoln house taken in 1960 with my brother Frank Vautier standing on the porch in his Army uniform.
Allegra and George Vautier lived here for a year or so in 1960. After
some time the title was still so involved that she moved out on the advice
of her lawyer, Mr. Oxley. All her payments were in escrow so she got it back, but after she moved out the pipes froze and caused
water damage which resulted in a law suit. She was cleared of
any liability.
