This is the former home of Charlie and Susie Sadahiro, one of the many immigrant families that made Durango their home. Fondly nicknamed Susies House. Charlie deserted from a Japanese floating military school ship while it was docked in Hawaii. He hid in a flour bin on a US luxury ship and escaped. He earned his keep and learned his lifelong trade as a chef to complete his passage into the US where he met and married a German woman, Susie. Charlie worked as a chef in the mining camps of Silverton and Rico. Together they purchased this home and raised at least 7 children here, one of whom was Violet Kolz. NOTES: The City is going to remove the dead pine in the City right of way. City will also share in cost of planting trees between the sidewalk and street. The foundation is original native rock and has been inspected by a structural engineer as sound.
