The Vincent Home

William Vincent was a graduate of Chester College in England who arrived in Manistee in the spring of 1871. He later found employment in the area working as a lumber broker, real estate investor and surveyor. At the time, he wanted to construct a home that would withstand the test of time, and therefore he constructed a home that was built of brick and stone and built this Queen Anne style home in 1885. The home included two parlors, a library, sitting and dining rooms, a china closet, and six chamber rooms. The barn, located east of the house has been rehabilitated and converted into a fine residence. Today, the house remains in the Vincent family.
