James Mc Coll House
Inscription
This Queen Anne-style structure was erected in 1899 by Scottish-born James Livingston. He gave the house to his daughter, Louise Livingston McColl. During the late nineteenth century Livingston and his son-in-law, James McColl, produced linseed oil and twine in their flax mills in Michigan and Canada.
At the time this house was built, McColl was also village president. The elaborate wood-frame home remained in the McColl family until 1980.
