Sources give the residence built as 1910; could the old residence been tore down? as on can see by the 1872 plat map that there was a building/residence on the property when Samuel Medbourn owned it. The residence is indicated on the 1880, 1908 and 1922 plat maps.

1964 - Nov 4 - School Board Inspects Proposed Building Site
    On Monday afternoon the Board of School Trustees of Culver Community Schools inspected the site west of School Street between Houghton Street and State Road 10 as a proposed' location for the new high school building. This site had been approved previously by the State Board of Health and the State School house Planning Division as a favorable one for such use.

    After a careful survey of the site with regard to location of the building, parking areas, and athletic fields, the School Board members discussed with Mr. Russell Easterday the possibility of purchasing the tract. Though he would prefer to retain the land for awhile, Mr. Easterday did agree to sell the necessary acreage for school purposes. An agreement was reached whereby the School Board could take an option on approximately 33 acres.

    Until such time as the land would be used for school purposes, Mr. Easterday would have the right to use of the site for agricultural purposes
