The house at the corner of Mexico and Oneida has a pristine lawn, gracious tiny library, and an inviting winding cement walk leading to the front porch. This home shows well for the neighborhood. It should. It was the show-home for the neighborhood when it was first built.

Owners Charlie and Jan Killick know this home well. Jan’s parents were its first owners. Jan, as the oldest of seven, often visited the house, but didn’t grow up there. Her brother Tom Paprocki, the second youngest of the clan, did. The family moved in 1969 from Park Hill to Cook Park.
