My husband and I own this house. It was built in 1913 and was in the same family until we purchased it in 2004 from the son of Josephine Chisenhall. I believe her maiden name was Watson. We don't know too much about the history of the place. One of her nephews came by, shortly after we moved in, and told us that this was a farmhouse and that his grandfather owned a lumber mill.
If and when I get more info, I will post it.

It's a great house! I'd love it if you would post more info about the history as you find it.
