The Yellow House Apartments
According to the late Rusty Burns, the Yellow House Apartments building was originally the "Brocette House", at the corner of Theard Avenue and 24th Avenue, across from the school board office. It was first called the Wagner boarding house. Here is an early 20th century postcard showing it in red. The Brocette family moved from this location in the mid 40's This structure remains at the corner of Theard & 24th Avenue this day.
