McIntire, 260 Superior Street S, (LL)

This Bungalow was probably built for Helen or Laura Adkins in 1917. The property changed hands several times with the Adkins having an interest in it from 1910 through 1924. In 1924 Charles and Addie McIntire bought the house and lived there until Mrs. McIntire's death in 1935. Local legend relates that the McIntires were related to Franklin Roosevelt's personal physician, Ross McIntire.

One of the earliest owners of this property was A. L. Clearwater who sold it to James and Julia Pettygrew in 1910. Mr. Pettygrew is listed as a farmer in the Salem City Directories. The Pettycrews resided here through 1939 at which time it was sold to C. C. and Mattie White. Later residents and owners were Wesley and Edna Adkins, Lina Dreschsel and wife, and Herman and Clara Valencourt.
The current owners have lived in this home since 1967. In 2012,  they were presented with the Neighborhood Beautification award and the property has been included twice in the A. C. Gilbert House Garden Tour. (NEN)
