About

This home was originally constructed by lumberman James Shrigley in 1874. Following the summer wedding of his daughter in 1892, the home was sold to Edward Buckley, another Manistee lumberman who was enjoying prosperity. Buckley was married in 1894 to his second wife who was from Thomasville, Georgia, and the home was transformed into a Free Classic Queen Anne style and remodeled extensively at a cost of $50,000 before they occupied it.
