Information

711 South Main Street - Circia 1840, originally a two-story cabin, in 1856 Francis Stafford added the living room and a bedroom above it. In 1905 William Cornelius Stafford, the son of Francis, purchased the house and property from his father's estate. In 1920, other alterations were made which included turning the front stairs around. The floors, beaded ceilings and most of the exposed paneling, including a number of the interior and exterior log walls, are original. The restoration, which included moving the house from 635 South Main Street, was done in 1987-88 by Sallie Greenfield, the great-granddaughter of Francis Marion Stafford.
