No.2 City Hall

No. 18 Proprietary House

 

No. 26 Kearny Cottage 

No. 41 St. Peter's Church

No. 65 George Inness House

The Inness House was demolished sometime in the early 90's
So if you live in the area, why not take a drive on a fall Sunday afternoon,
and take the tour of your historic hometown.
For anyone who may be coming back for a class reunion,
your class reunion committee might want to sponsor a mini-tour.
If you want to see the inside of the Kearny Cottage, St. Peter's Church, or

the Proprietary House, I would suggest calling ahead and see if they can
accommodate your group on your chosen day.
Enjoy coming home!
