Our home at 342 Mercer Avenue has been in our family for generations. Originally located at 132 Mercer Avenue, we moved in back in 1954 to a house built in 1930 with all the amenities one could ask for - three bedrooms, a kitchen, a den, a living room, and a bathroom. Our family has created many happy memories within these walls, and we are proud to call it our home.
However, before our family became its owners, the house was inhabited by a woman named Aunt Lottie, who was not related to us. Although we didn't know her personally, there were rumors that she passed away in the house. Even after all these years, Aunt Lottie's presence is still felt in the house, and it adds to the unique character of our home.
One thing that has always stood out to us is Aunt Lottie's frequent handwashing habits. She would wash her hands so frequently that it became a topic of conversation among the people who knew her. Even now, we can still hear the sound of the water running in the bathroom where she used to wash her hands. It's a little spooky at times, but it's also a reminder of the history and legacy of our home.
Despite its quirks and eerie atmosphere, we love our home and cherish the memories we've created here. It's a special place that has been a part of our family for generations, and we hope to continue to pass it down for many generations to come.
