"Paul and Mother Dunbar (Matilda) moved from Chicago to Dayton in the autumn of 1903. While searching for a new home, Paul leased a house at 118 Sycamore Street, two doors away from one of his childhood homes. Ezra Kuhns, a childhood friend and attorney, assisted Dunbar in locating a house, and Dunbar purchased lots 12448 and 12449 at 219 North Summit Street on June 3, 1904, for $4,100. Purchasing the house for his mother, Paul put the deed in her name."
