42 North Main Street

Before 1855 the property north of the outlot, that is, the property on the north shore of the stream from the mill pond to Park Lake, on the east side of Main St., was part of Washington Clark Scranton's residential property, the Greek Revival style house at 58 N. Main. In 1855, Judson Paddock (who later owned a carding mill in the Village) was listed in tax records for 24' x 40' on the southwest corner of Scranton's property. By 1859 Jesse Millard had a "cooper shop" on the site. There was also a reference in the tax records then to a wagon shop. In 1864 Millard was bordered on the north by J. B. Drummond, whose piece became Smith and Peters one year later. Smith & Peters had a drugstore on the northeast corner of N. Main & E. Washington Streets. Millard had both pieces/buildings north of the stream by 1870. The 1872 Map of the Village shows the rectangular building footprints close to the street. A turn of the century photo left, shows a gambrel-roofed barn building (with a gable-roofed building either behind or atttached to the rear wall), by then the livery of the Linabury Bros., just north of the stream outlot. Cyrus Linabury and George Tindall stand in front of the barn. Tax rolls listed Jasper Linabury, in 1908, then in 1910 Waterbury; J. A. Skarritt in 1914 & the Collins Bros. in 1924 for this property. The livery often delivered vistors to the Village, and tourists to the Inns in town and on the shores of Deer Lake from the train station of White Lake Rd.
