Inscription. The land at 22 N. High St. was first owned by Samuel Manning, one of four founders of Lebanon in 1802. It was added to the town in 1814 as lot No 223. In 1846, it was sold to Thomas Beachey. He built this home the next year. He was the grandfather of one of the 20th Century's first “daredevil” airplane pilots, Lincoln Beachey.

In 1885, a widow named Rebecca Gallaher bought the house. For 98 years, and four generations, it was her family's home. In 1984, it was placed on the National Register. Its delicate ornamental iron lace portico is often praised as its most significant feature. In 2004, the 3-story Gothic Revival home became a popular bed & breakfast.

Erected by Lebanon Rotary Club.
