House in Jensen, c. 1920

Historic house in Jensen. Ransom and Gertrude Ricou lived in the house for a short time and their first daughter Anita Ricou Tilton was born in the home (1899), before the family moved to a two-story home built on property purchased from John Jensen. The building later became the office for Pitchford's By The Sea RV Park.
