Previously the location of Henry Jones Dunning's blacksmith shop, this property was sold to one of his employees, William T. Miners, in 1895. William and his wife Dinah tore down the original building and constructed the large brick home pictured here, including the unique wrought-iron gate, which featured a thistle, shamrock, rose, and maple leaf pattern. A fire escape ladder from a second storey window is also visible on the far left. The building also features a cross gabled roof with elaborate gable decorations. The Miners had no children, but their blacksmith business was continued by William's nephew Thomas L. Webb. William died in 1913, and Dinah in 1932. Three unidentified people stand in front of the fence surrounding the house in the photo: two men dressed in work clothes on either side of a woman dressed in a long dark dress and elaborate hat.
