Scope and content
Harley L. Doyle was listed in the 1954 City Directory as the owner of the building at 5703 McKinley Avenue. It appears to have been a one-story duplex, since there are doorbells at each screen door. There is a large rectangular planter along the unit and the yard is neatly landscaped with a small contained tree growing on the front strip. The duplex was put up for sale and an ad placed in the News Tribune later in May. The ad stated that the building was made with pumice block and had a reinforced foundation and walls. It came with aluminum casement windows with ceramic tile sills and was heavily insulated. Each unit had two bedrooms, a fireplace, nice cabinets, individual heating, and separate garages. A buyer needed only to put down $1950. (TNT 5-23-54, C-12)
