| Additional Information: | Map code 0710-072-1406-9. "Built in 1855 by Willard Knight, a mason, the mansion was added on to more than once and probably served at one time as a boarding house. In about 1902, it was expanded to accommodate the offices of the Northern Electric Company whose former plant can be seen behind the house and beyond the railroad tracks."
