Ebinezer Rowley Home A Methodist class was organized in this house in the year 1814 by Rev. Samuel Lane according to an article written by Mr. George J. Taylor, and published in the 1934 Centennial edition of the Niles Daily Times. It was the residence of Mr. Ebenezer Rowley and was located on North Main Street next to the present location of the I.O.O.F. Building on what is now the grounds of the McKinley Memorial. The house is still standing at 22 Wagstaff Ave. (1976) having been moved there in 1918 when the Memorial was built. |
