Inscription. The Coleman House was built in 1879 and purchased by William Coleman in 1881. The house served as a family home to the Coleman and Clark families until purchased by the town in 2000. Through the years the Coleman House served as a boarding house for tourists and railroad employees in its restored state, the house will become a focal point of the town and serve the citizens as a gathering place for family and community activities.
