WHEATLEY HOUSE circa 1891

This little cottage porch used to witness the old train that used to ran down by it each day on Broad Street. As it lumbered by this short block of Broad Street it passed three sundries shops that sold everything form penny candy to 5-cent pickles.

Charley Wheatley and his wife Emily Noe built this charming little cottage in 1891. Emily’s father, Benjamin R. Noe, sold them the property for $75.

Wheatley, Noe, Rice, Jarmin, Scott, and Harrell are names original to this block of Broad Street. Two descendents of these families still reside in the 200 block.
