Tyler Fitch, right, his wife, Marianne Downey, and their group, the Historic East Urbana Neighborhood Association, were instrumental in raising the $30,000 needed for a new playground as part of renovations to Victory Park in Urbana.
Tyler Fitch said he and his wife, Marianne Downey, knew they had found the house they wanted the moment they first walked in.
Newlyweds at the time, the couple were on their way to look at another house three years ago when they saw a "For sale by owner" sign in the yard of a smaller, wood-frame house at 503 E. California Ave. in east Urbana.
