Information

707 South Main Street - Circa 1861, this two story frame dwelling was originally built around 1861 for John W. Gentry, a local merchant, and his wife, Parmelia Kerner Gentry, daughter of John Fredrick Kerner. In 1881, the house was purchased by John M. Greenfield who extensively altered it in the Colonial Revival style. It has a low pitched gabled roof, exterior chimeny on the north end and a one-story rear ell. The two-tiered gabled porch has now been returned to its original design in the renovation by Sallie Greenfield, granddaughter of John M. Greenfield. The house was moved in 1987 from its original site next to the Theodore E. Kerner house.
