One of the couples who started married life in a Winans Apartment was Margie and Bernie Skiff.  I believe the apartment was in the house, not a tree house…

The house, sadly, was demolished to make room to store lumber needed for a flooring manufacturing business.

John M Lewis, Esq. owned and operated a wagon and carriage shop in the borough.   He was well-respected for his workmanship and he was also a Justice of the Peace for Spartansburg.   In 1874, he built a large brick home on the northeast corner of Main and Washington Streets.  The home was briefly described in a June 10, 1874 Titusville Herald article. The home has changed little over the years and is still one of the few brick homes in the borough.
