Built by M.L. Mitchell for his family, it was ran as one of the most successful boarding houses in the area for over 100 years till it was purchased as a private residence in 1986.
The home is located on W. Court St, one of the original routes through town. Although it spend most of its history as a boarding house there is also a historic account that one of the earliest pharmacies in town was located on the lower level of the home.  In fact, the pharmacy shelves are still in tact today in a downstairs closet.
