HISTORY

This home was built in 1896.

The first ladies' co-op was founded here by Mary Ann Gardner. Due to the disunity caused by undercutting the town's men's merchantile prices, the co-op was disbanded. After that, Mary Ann established a millinery shop in the house.

The building is currently a dental office.
