History: Ben Lamphere constructed this house in 1917 for Ed Clark. He resided in the house for many years. In the 1960’s, Mrs. Barbara Slough purchased the house. The Bishop’s moved into the house in 1978. The building was in poor condition at that time; a concrete foundation was constructed and the building was restored.
