The home at 205 Exchange St. was originally built for Peter and Maggie Hines sometime in the 1890's. Peter owned Peter Hines Meat Market, and Maggie was known for hosting various events at the home including a double wedding for their children. She would also rent rooms in the home in exchange for light housekeeping. It seems that ownership transferred to their daughter and her husband before Peter's death in January 1941.
