 Ole Ness-Halverson bought the lot and it was Farmers’ Insurance Company agent B. F. Pixley's residence for many years.It's no surprise then that Litchfield's first real residential house and the second building was next door north of Truls’ shack.Even though the land was deeded by the railroad to Nils Pearson for the sum of $50 on October 6, 1869, George B. Waller, Sr. built the house in 1871 and it was at 206 Marshall Avenue North and still there today.
