This historic home/business was constructed in several phases, beginning in the year 1862. The original brownstone was expanded to the brick home you see today by the second owner a founding partner of a local department store, and long-time President of a local bank.

Local legend tells that when the Mrs. to the second owner and their two young daughters returned from a long vacation in the mid 1880’s, the eastern portion of the home stood as a surprise with mahogany paneling and elaborately carved entrances to each room, this newer addition to the home is distinctly more feminine than the original spaces. Still, the home was undoubtedly redecorated in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s as the owner’s business dealings prospered, as demonstrated by the location’s turn of the century six foot crystal chandeliers, and the numerous marble and onyx fireplaces.

The owner then placed the deed to the home in his wife’s name, as a Valentine’s Day gift in 1901. This remained the family home until the deaths of the owners and their daughter. In 1943, eldest daughter sold the home to a family who ran a funeral home that operated on the first floor for several decades, while the upper floors served as home for members of the family until 2007.

In 2008, the current owners acquired the home to serve as both its Corporate Headquarters, as well as retail location for their industry. A major restoration of this magnificent property is currently underway.
