The first six months of this year found a duplex, a home, and a church addition, plus assorted fences, decks, and storage sheds built in Ada. ONU demolished a house on Ballard and Karlton Plaugher removed a house trailer on Lincoln.
Pictured here: work continues on a $200,000 duplex on Autumn Drive by Myler Construction. Two similar duplexes have been built by Myler in the past year or so, as shown in the background of the photo.
Zoning permits were granted to Clint Mathewson for a $250,000 single family home at 1136 Beech St. and a $245,000 addition to Grace Gospel Church, 321 N. Gilbert St.
