303 South Main Street - Built 1892 by Henry Clay Korner for his mother, Aunt Salie, second wife and widow of Philip Korner. The house is "L" shaped with a center hall plan. There are two unequal rooms on each side of the hall and a rear ell which contains the kitchen. The southern front room features a three-part bay projection and a late victorian mantel with mirrowred over-mantel. Behind this room is a smaller room also with the same mantel arrangement. The wainscot in the house consists of tooled leater. However, like the Caesar Milch painted mural in the covered ceiling, they have been painted over.
Henry Clay Korner was the third generation of Joseph Kerner. The house was restored in 1986 by Mary Ruth Korner, the wife of the late Phillip Korner, Jr., fifth generation of Joseph Kerner. Their daughter, Mary Lynn Korner Hutchins and husband Steve currently live in the house.
