Gordon Brothers Double Residence

     
Gordon Double Residence   This large two story home was built around 1860 as a home of brothers Milton B, and Mahlon C Gordon and their families. Milton was involved in the Milling business, Mahlon was the largest landholder in the county. A son, William, later became President of the local bank. In the early 1900's the Leonard family bought the home. Mr. Leonard was also a Bank President at the Farmers Bank on the north side of Main Street. The house maid left an iron unattended and the home was damaged by fire in the 1920's and was rebuilt to reflect the end of the Victorian period.
