At the time, the Wood family was living at 12513 Lancelot Avenue in Cleveland Heights, Ohio.
The house was built by Wallis's father, James Edgar Wood (1871-1939), who built dozens of homes in and around that area. Typically, James would construct a home on spec, finish one floor, move his family in, and slowly complete the inside while framing the outside of yet another home. The family wound up moving every year or two as James sold off each house.
His homes have stood for more than a century!

The Wood family celebrated a couple of holiday seasons there before moving to yet another almost-completed home.
Wishing you and yours a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
