Sedgwick Landers maintained an upholstery and carpentry shop on the second floor of the carriage house while stabling his horse and wagon used for deliveries on the first floor. Parralee grew vegetables and hung out wash to dry in the backyard. Sedgwick built the front porch which was the first one on the block. 114 was also the first house on the block to get electricity. Parralee and her daughter Lorraine stood in the front yard to watch Charles Lindberg fly over the house before landing in Washington. Louie & Martha Landers lived at 118 10th Street and Sedgwick's grandparents and Uncle Lucious and Aunt Mae lived at 122.
