It's the Ada we never knew - on East Lincoln
Our story about John and Christina Dean and their 125 E. Lincoln Ave. house restoration story grabbed Icon viewer attention yesterday.
Our Facebook post as of Thursday afternoon recorded 2,357 reaches, over 110 likes and shares and a dozen comments.
In that story we posted these three old photos that were discovered in the house.
These are charming photos of the Dean's residence that reveal an earlier Ada. One taken in winter is unusual because there are so few winter photos taken of Ada during this era.
The photo of a woman taking a photo of two other women - and remember, another person took a photo of scene - is another image unique.
The Icon encourages viewers who have not yet read the Dean story to click on it now.
