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.
