History
This home was built for Thomas McClure (1848-1903), a successful farmer who retired and moved to town to this beautiful Queen Anne. He lived here with his wife Jane Atherton McClure (1849-1917). The couple had three children, Fred, Emma and Sadie. They were adults, however, at the time this house was built and never lived here. Sadly, Sadie died at age 15 in 1888.
