I noticed in some of the web sites that finding comparables for basement houses was very difficult for assessors, but I didn't know it prevented them from refinancing. If you do find answers, let us know. I wish I could help, Niki.

Not sure if it was ever a full fledged commune but it was fairly hippie. There was a band that lived there and adopted the name for their moniker. They were talented, well rehearsed and could harmonize like birds. Hippie birds I guess.
