Chester and Ollie McCown live on the south side of Miles. Their house was built in the 1920's. The front has a large yard that extends into a lot on one side of the house. In the back yard are a cottage, storage buildings, a cellar, barn and a carport. They also own a large field behind the house. During the spring and summer the front and back yards explode with flowers and shrubs. Different colors of irises outline the property on two sides. There are houses across from them on Pine and Pear Streets.
