"The stone building was built in 1846 by Prussian immigrants and used as their family home. It is now home to Head Hunters Salon on the lower level and the Market Street Guest Suite on the upper level.
"The brick building was added in 1867 were the family ran a successful bar and brothel called the Farmers Home Hotel. During prohibition the locals say that it was the place to get moon shine. The story goes that the alcohol would be tunneled into the basement through a false grating system. Portions of the tunnel still remain." ~ airbnb
