The address is 1436 West Bay Avenue. Three houses down from the small beach that is featured in many B&W photos in mom's collection. I thought that their house had been torn down until I located the beach itself. Then I simply counted down the block and there it was. A number of changes have been made over the years, but they appear more cosmetic rather than substantive. Sometime in the mid-50's, the grandparents sold this house and moved up the hill. But I cannot say for certain when that was. And I have not been able to locate any old photos of the house above the harbor, so I have no dates with which to determine when they moved there from here.

Grandma and Grandpa's water front propery in Newport Beach, now
The address is 1436 West Bay Avenue. Three houses down from the small beach that is featured in many B&W photos in mom's collection. I thought that their house had been torn down until I located the beach itself. Then I simply counted down the block and there it was. A number of changes have been made over the years, but they appear more cosmetic rather than substantive. Sometime in the mid-50's, the grandparents sold this house and moved up the hill. But I cannot say for certain when that was. And I have not been able to locate any old photos of the house above the harbor, so I have no dates with which to determine when they moved there from here.
