SPEARFISH Though no one has lived there for at least a decade, the historic Johnston Ranch house (also known as the Walton Ranch house or Cundy house) on Upper Valley Road is undergoing a restoration and will once again act as a home for Spearfish residents soon.
Rachel Headley bought the three lots (about six-tenths of an acre) that include the house, barn, and outbuildings of the historic ranch, and since Dec. 26, shes been hard at work preparing the interior for renovation.
I cant tell you how many people have said that theyve driven by and stopped and really thought about how great it would be to do this house, but no one has, she said. Theres been a couple of attempts to remodel it. All have aborted early in the process.
Headley, who grew up in Brookings County and moved to Spearfish in 2008, started looking at lots with the thought of building a new home but wasnt finding anything that really felt right, so then she decided to look into homes that could be redone. When she saw these lots, and the potential for what the idyllic space could provide for her daughters childhood, she was hooked.
Im excited for the whole thing, in the sense of the property as a whole, Headley said. I have a 6 year old, and I grew up on a farm, so giving her a place that has a barn to snoop around in and bugs to catch and frogs to catch Thats the part I like.
Headley has been doing a lot of research to try to put the houses history in order, and different documents have conflicting information, making the details a bit fuzzy. From what shes found, it appears John Walton received a patent on the land in 1892, and in March of 1898, he sold the land to Ida Hall. Documents list either 1898 or 1900 as the date the house was built, and Headley has found newspapers from 1898 tucked between plaster behind the walls as crews have been preparing the house for the renovation. Shes guessing that Ida Hall built the house; in September of 1899, Ida divorced her husband, Edwin Shock Hall and sold him the land, and in 1907, he sold the land to Irvin G. King. In 1925, the land sold to William Johnston, and starting in 1927, the land passed back and forth between members of the Johnston family, with Louise Johnston taking ownership in 1958, before selling to her nephew, Philip Cundy, in 1975. In 2004, it was sold to developers, and at some point, the larger property that had been a ranch was broken into separate lots.
Though the houses surroundings have changed as new neighborhoods have grown up around it, the house itself is largely unchanged from its early days.
Many people have asked about the two front doors and two chimneys, unique features to a home that was never used as a duplex. Headley said shes heard several guesses about the features, but the most plausible seems to be that houses could be ordered out of catalogues, and some had the option for duplexes. When examining the doors, the north door had frosted glass and fancier design, and someone mentioned that that door would be used as the more formal parlor entrance, while the south door would have been used for more informal and everyday purposes.
Headley said that theres no central heating and basically no indoor plumbing; theres no bathroom in the main part of the house. A double-hole privy outside provided that service, and an indoor bathroom was later added in an addition to the houses rear. That addition will be torn down due to structural failure, replaced by a two-stall garage. The main floor has 9-foot ceilings, with 8-foot ceilings on the second floor, and there is a root cellar with a poured cement basement.
Headley is pleased that the house was never updated.

Hopper's sister, Vera Freeze, contacted Doors2Change, a local group with the purpose of improving homes in Eloise.
A representative then contacted Hopper and said his home would be one of their first projects. They said it would make major repairs, which Hopper, who had no insurance on the house, couldn't afford.
Today, however, the house on Third Street still isn't inhabitable. Hopper and his former wife, Lavonia Martin, with whom he has been living since the fire, are angry, and say they feel as though they have been passed over by the group they thought could help them.
"They told me to 'just hang in there,' " Hopper said. "They weren't returning calls. My ex-wife tried to call them, then my daughter did, and then my granddaughter called, and there was no response."
Since the fire, the house has fallen victim to thieves and vandals who broke in and "messed with" the house, Martin said.
Martin lamented the state of the house, saying she was "scared to walk inside."
"The more it sits there, the worse it's going to get," she said.
When Hopper and his family initially approached the charity for help, Doors2Change didn't yet have the grant funds that would allow it to fix houses since it was a new program at the time, founder Jane Waters-Thomas said.
"The cost of fixing the electrical equipment alone was greater than what we had to spend," Waters-Thomas said.

Doors2Change Clearing Roadblocks: Veteran Waits Years For Home Repairs
Julie Gaines and David Lenovitz share a passion for old restaurant ware. Together they would scour the basements of restaurant suppliers in New York Citys Bowery district for odds and ends or discontinued items.
Eventually their collection so overran their Gramercy Park home that Julie would have to travel to her mothers apartment on the upper East Side to take a shower. Thats when the couple decided it was time to open a store and turn their collecting into commerce.
That was 28 years ago, and their store Fishs Eddy is still going strong at 889 N. Broadway. Its one of a handful of independent retailers sprinkled among the outposts of Americas biggest home furnishings chains in New Yorks Flatiron District.
The area, named for the iconic triangular Flatiron Building bounded by Broadway, East 22nd Street and Fifth Avenue, is a mecca for seekers of high-style home decor. Its blocks are lined with eye-catching window displays of everything from cutting-edge design to the old comforts of home in greater quantity than youll find virtually anywhere else.
Another area of Manhattan to explore decor is the East Village, southeast of the Flatiron District and just as accessible. Its leafier streets and quirky offerings make for more pleasant strolling, but the concentration of stores is lighter, so if hitting a lot of shops in one day is your goal, go to the Flatiron first.
If you arrive by subway, the N and R lines stop at 23rd Street. When you reach the sidewalk, just head south.
One block down, at 935 N. Broadway, youll find a large Restoration Hardware, with plenty of rooms to browse through, furnished like the movie set of a castle with huge chandeliers, aged-leather sofas and distressed-wood everything.
Right next door is Whisk, a local purveyor of kitchen wares with just one sister store (in Brooklyn). I found a $15 blue-glass milk bottle to use for carbonated water and a $12 ceramic version of those pre-Starbucks paper coffee cups the Law & Order cops were always carrying (impractical because it gets very hot, but pretty!).
In the next block youll find Safavieh and Design Within Reach, two retailers familiar to fans of shelter magazines, the first very upscale and the second with more affordable prices.
On the corner of Broadway and E. 19th is Fishs Eddy, the delightful tableware shop born of a couples overflowing apartment.

Where to find home decor items in NYC
Dad would have loved this story.
Its about a 120-year-old brick house in Northside, a one-room wide, modest but nice place where on its third floor and out in its garage a young man began inventing things that would later save more than 20 million lives my fathers included.
Its not the sort of house youd expect to connect with a cardiovascular surgeon named Thomas Fogarty, a man so important that in November he was awarded the Presidential National Medal of Technology and Innovation at the White House. Fogarty is an inventor and entrepreneur who has developed many medical devices used in heart surgeries.
And, oh yeah, heput a pig valve in my dads heart at Stanford University Medical Center in the mid-1970s that extended his life by 25 years.
I shared this story with the couple who have lived for 12 years in the Fogarty House Michael Griffith and Nicola Mason and in turn, they shared a few Fogarty stories and their passion for the hallowed place they and their daughter call home.
A lot of effort went into having floors refinished, a kitchen created, wallpaper removed and paint and polyurethane applied, but the end result is the goal they set.
Its got quirks and its got history, Mason said. Its also got craftsmanship you cant find in new construction.
The couple lived in Baton Rouge, La., when Griffith was offered jobs in Cincinnati and North Carolina. He interviewed here in February 2002.
Griffith, an English professor at the University of Cincinnati, and Mason, managing editor of The Cincinnati Review, zeroed in on Northside during their initial house hunt. The 2-story Fogarty House, which was built by the doctors family in 1895 around the corner from the Andrew Jergens mansion, was an obvious contender.
A lot of houses we looked at didnt have the woodwork exposed. It had all been painted over, Griffith said. I was looking for original woodwork and door frames.
