In the Spring of 1941, the England house at 614 West Santa Fe Avenue in
Flagstaff was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. DF Pullen by a low bid of $3500 at
auction. Extensive cleaning
and papering and interior and exterior painting was required.
New plumbing fixtures were installed.
A two-story back porch was constructed over the existing cellar
entrance, with a pull-up door built into the lower floor.
Wooden stairs were built from the lower porch floor to the new
second story porch floor, thus permitting entrance to the back bedroom
from outside the house.
A new oil stove was placed in the main living room at the inside north
west corner.
A new coal-wood cooking stove, a new sink and a new refrigerator were
placed in the kitchen. The
upstairs bathroom equipment was new and a toilet and small sink were
installed in the main-floor, northwest “study.”
The Pullen family moved into the house after school ended at the end of
May 1941.
Outdoor work on the rock wall and side walks began at that time and
continued during the summer.
