61 North Main Street

This house was built in 1919 for Mr. and Mrs. David Teggerdine. on property which was originally a part of Nelson W. Clark's residential Lot. Teggerdine moved his family to the Village when he became Clarkston Bank President. He had a farm outside the Village and a meat market with partner, Crosby, for a short time on the east side of S. Main St., 12 S. Main. See circa 1922 photo of Teggerdine inside the market in Heritage, pg. 65. When that wooden building, and three others south of it, burned in 1927, he and friend, George King, and businessmen Bert Landi, Cecil Hubble & Clair Hopkins banded together to build a new yellow brick building on the site. Architecturally, this house is a "foursquare", a derivative of the Arts & Crafts California Bungalow style. In the 1970s a two story 18' section was added to the west facade and a garage was built. In the 1990s aluminum siding was removed from the second story which covered the original wood clapboard.
