Okay, I am posting a shameless plug, but I do want to get the word out that the old Purdy home at 500 Cottage Street, is on the market. For details contact Linda White at 530-310-2930 or realtychicks@gmail.com

On the other hand, I will still provide some historical material related to the property, since there have only been two structures located there. Susanville first’s church, the Congregational Church was built there in the mid-1870s. In 1906, Susanville merchant, Charlie Emerson purchased the abandoned church, and moved it to 607 Cottage Street where he converted into a warehouse. In August 1915, that building caught fire and destroyed most of that block. In 1929, Wes Emerson built the house on the old church lot.
