52 North Main Street

The north half of this late Victorian Stick Style derivative house was built about 1888 for Edwin M. Clark, great grandson of Jeremiah Clark. Edwin, with son Lee, owned and operated the Vulcan Art Metal Works in the stone building they built in 1915 at 64 S. Main St. Edwin Clark's first business was in Detroit. Reportedly Clark intended the original section of this house to be only half of his finished home, but the house was used only as a summer home and was never finished. (See the Building/Structure Inventory Form, Site #8). The size of the house was doubled in 1969 when the south half was added. Before the addition, a porch at the rear of the house was remodeled adding 12' high groin arches designed by the owner.
