Bob, My grandmother's family lived on 9th or near 9th street in the 1900's to the1950's I do no know about Sun purchasing Houses but I remeber being told there was a hotel on or about 9th that was nicknamed the Sun Hotel because of Sun Oil. I will see if I can find out about the houses from my grandmother she was born in 1915 and is still with us she might have a clue. Good Luck Jacki
