The house where Shep grew up.
For over 20 years Shep told
stories of childhood events. Along with the Steel Mill, the house on
Cleveland Street were constantly referred to in these. He even mentioned the
neighbors on each side, The Bruners whose coffee grounds always found their
way coughing up into the Shepherd's kitchen sink, and the mysterious Emde
house which Shep described the building of on his May 5, 1966 show - "Emde's
Folly"
According to 1930 census
information, the house was rented by Shep's parents for $40 per month.
Still in the attic of the house are Shep and brother Randy's
'autographs'
"17 yrs. old. Jean
Shepherd. 2/18/39,"
"15 yrs. old. Randall Shepherd. 2/28/39" |
