Building History

L.J. Gardemal built his house, with its unusual onion-shaped tin dome, prior to 1892. This home has a predominant location and unusual architecture. Most townpersons would probably know it as the Gary House, based on its long-time residents, the Gary family. Some day, this fine home would make a great bed and breakfast hotel.

Queen Anne Revival residence of 1 1/2 stories with Eastlake columns on raised curving gallery. An outstanding feature of this home is the octaganal side turret surmounted by a pressed tin onion dome.
