The Elway House
This was the home of Lemuel ad Ida B. Elway. Ida was the oldest child of the Anderson family. Lemuel owned Elway/Miller Plumbing, still in business today as Elway Plumbing & Heating. Needless to say, the plumbing and heating systems in the house are first rate. Sarah continued to live in the house after her marriage and she was general manager of Grays Harbor Prefab Company, which was later purchased by the Schafer Company.
There were nine children in the family, so it was a busy house. There is a ballroom and office in the basement. It has the same spruce siding as the Barlow house around the corner on J Street.
