William Walker Home, 1857

Title

William Walker Home, 1857

Description

Handmade quilt square which depicts Walter home and surrounding area as part of the 15-panel Heritage Quilt of Cedar Mill. Description from accompanying pamphlet: BLOCK 15 WILLIAM WALKER HOME by Ruth Simpson. Old Meadow Farm no longer exists. After much controversy, the house was torn down and Parker Furniture built a store at this site on Walker Road between Murray and 158th. The home was built in 1857 by William and Hanna Walker who were well known residents in the community. He was a part time school teacher, and there is a grade school named for him. The orchard which dates from 1854 can still be seen next to the furniture company's parking lot.
