| Title | North Main Street #287 |
| Description | This house was built in 1909 during the American Victorian period and has some elements of a Queen Anne style. The first owner, Samuel Bediant (1837-1911), was a machinist and inventor who designed a self-steering traction engine. While the home is named for Samuel Bediant, many remember this home as Bertha Bonsteel's (1896-1995). Bertie, as she was known, was a dedicated community member who served in many capacities for the local government, including secretary of the board of public affairs and clerk-treasurer. Bertie was also an avid gardener. |
