Herb bought the home at 199 College Avenue, married Norma Garmatz December 1945 and three of the Meyer kids had their early childhoods there. This home is filled with childhood memories and great times with neighborhood friends (who lived on Lincoln Ave.) We had buckeye trees in the front (2 are still standing), a big yard and sandpile under a weeping willow tree, a playhouse, swing and stone bar b q. The house was across the street from Becker Hall (where dad's office and chemistry lab was) and the maintenance building. Down the road was the Old Gym. Jesse Hall men's dorm was across from Becker Hall. One of our jobs as kids was to watch when the football players left the top East Field (there was a woodland area between the Old Gym and the field) because then mom would put the potatoes on the stove, knowing that dad would be home soon for supper. The family moved to 773 Columbia Ave in 1954. The Marxhausen family lived in 199 College Ave before the house was destroyed and Ruth women's dorm was built.

The Herb Meyer family lived in Columbia Avenue House 02 from about 1954 to 1963.

The Herb Meyer family moved to 850 North 3rd street in 1963.
