Jasper County Democrat, Volume 16, Number 87, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 31 January 1914 — O. J. Parker Buys Fine Building Lot. [ARTICLE]

O. J. Parker Buys Fine Building Lot.

The Democrat is informed that Oren Parker has bought of Mrs. M. B. Thompson the 100x150 feet of ground on the corner of River and Washington streets, immediately north of the Thompson residence and fronting on River street. This is perhaps the finest residence lot in Rensselaer, and it is probable that a good round price was paid for it, in fact it is reported that the consideration was $2,500. It is said that Mr. Parker expects to build a fine new residence thereon the coming season.
