Augustus P.
Gardner (1817-1905), a wealthy hardware merchant built
this Victorian style house in 1875. A three-story,
thirteen-room mansion with a mansard roof, it was Gardner's
home until his death in 1905. In 1966, after decades of neglect, the house was purchased by the Albion Historical Society. Restored, it houses a local museum. Five of the rooms are furnished as a nineteenth-century home and the remainder feature permanent and rotating exhibits. ** |
