Regarding Michael Dooley House. Excerpt from the 2018 amended National Register nomination for the district:
Michael Dooley left Ireland with his brother Anthony and arrived in Glendale via New York. He was listed in the 1860 census at age 35 as a common laborer, but by 1870, he had become a lumber and coal merchant, and a partner with H. E. Willis in the Willis and Dooley Coal Company. He was also marshal of Glendale. Dooley built many homes in the village, including his own at 1045 Willow Avenue.
