Editor's note: Each wee throughout this centennial year, a historical site in Park City will be identified by a descriptive plaque to be placed at each location. By the end of the year, the numbered num-bered markers will act as signposts for a "self guided" tour of Park City, according to Nina Macheel, the coordinator coor-dinator of the plaque project for the Park City Centennial Commission. Weekly, the Park Record will run a photograph of that week's designated structure or site along with the text of each plaque which gives a brief synopsis of the historical significance of each. This week's site is the Raddon House. Here is the text: The Raddon House This two and one-half story home, built in 1901, was home to the Samuel L. Raddon Rad-don family for over 50 years.
