Photo of the A.M. Startzell home built around 1890 by Homer Merrell. On Southside, north of Springs.
Update - 2009: A black & white print attached to light colored mat which has been cut off leaving irregular edges. Print shows an ornate house built of irregular shaped rock with wooden gables protruding from roof, side & front. Windows of house are narrow & high. Front of house has multiple columns on side left entryway & matching columns on side right entryway. Several small rock outbuildings are seen on right side. The house is built into an arid hillside with a high butte type cliff seen on side right. An incline driveway has irregular shaped post fence on side left & a more uniform square post built fence with wire on side right of road bed. Light snow patches are seen on side left. A group of three women are standing on entryway side left & a man is seated on the steps with a black dog nearby. A man & a woman are standing on entryway side right each on one side of the portico.
Written on back in blue green ink: "House built by Homer Merrell on the south side of the U.P. Railroad bricks by the hill on the west side of town - later owned by A.M. Starzell, then Charlie Anderson nothing left by the foundation now."
