History and Style:

This home was built circa 1852 by Alexander Waddell, the son of a prosperous Scotch mill owner. Ida (Marshall) Coffee moved into this home in 1936 when her brother brought his new bride to their homestead next door. Ida’s father, James Marshall, had the home remodelled by Les Merritt after he bought it from Alexander and Edith Waddell in 1918. The house lied vacant after Ida’s death for many years, until it was moved to its new location on Mount Misery Road in November of 2003. It is just one example of how an older home can be given a new lease on life.
