A.K. Philbrook and his new buggy in front of the Sol Nathan residence on Roop Street. Courtesy of Philip S. HallThis falls in one of more unusual transportation categories. In 1892, Susanville’s furniture maker/undertaker, Alonzo K. Philbrook purchased a new buggy. I realize that does sound so dramatic. It was the first rubber tire buggy in Susanville.

Do you know if that house is on North or South Roop? Or know the address? I lived on N. Roop for 18 years.
Thank you
In 1945 we moved into the 2nd house from the corner, next to the Wemple house; we lived there for about 3 years, until we moved into 700 Mill Street to live with my Grandfather Ross Bangham. I think the Roop Street house may have belonged to the Borrette family .
