“This house is like a big hug” are the words that Penny Olson-Langland shared with their realtor as she and her husband, Tom, walked through the front door and then into the parlor at 219 W. North Street.

The Victorian house was built in 1880 by Samuel M. Underwood, and the lot for this home was purchased back in 1865 for a total sum of $100. The Langlands purchased this home, moving in December 2011. Since that time, Penny has painted and coordinated the remodeling and restoring, always with the integrity of the house and its time period in mind.
