Nickels / McClure Home

I remember my mother telling me about the Enser home (before I was old enough to remember much) that movie star John Agar, whom was engaged to Shirley Temple at that time, was stationed at Alva's prisoner of war camp. He invited Shirley to come and see him and asked the Enser's if she could stay with them. They felt that their home was unworthy of Shirley Temple, so she didn't come to Alva. I always thought it was such a beautiful place and had been to their house when my children were little. I loved going through the house and I am so glad that someone is going to restore it. It would be tragic if lost, like the railroad station and a few other things in Alva.
