Real estate appraisal card. 226 E. 2nd Street, lot 19, block 23, in Salida, Colorado.
This house was built between 1898 and 1904. In 1920, the US Census indicated that this was the residence of the Haskins family. Charles Haskins, age 42, was born in Colorado and worked as a car repairer for the Denver & Rio Grande Western. He lived here with his wife, May (39, born in California), son Darwin (11, born in California), and son Harold (4, born in Colorado). The Haskins were also listed at this address (then 222) in the 1922 city directory. George DeVerne Hallock and Dorothy A. Gibson Hallock lived here by 1930, according to the U.S. Census. Mr. Hallock was born in 1901 in Salida and Mrs. Hallock in 1906, also in Colorado. The Hallocks had two children in 1930: Marian E. (7) and Virginia B. (4). In 1920, George Halleck had been listed as single and living with his parents, Mr. and Mrs. Willis Hallock. He was employed as a mail carrier with the post office in 1920 and 1930. He was later transferred to Albuquerque, New Mexico, and then West Palm Beach, Florida, where he passed away in May 1951. Mrs. Hallock was still alive at the time of his death, as were both of his daughters. Mr. Hallock was buried in Fairview Cemetery beside his father and mother. By 1951, Harold F. and Josephine Dwyer lived here. Mr. Dwyer was retired.
