Built and once owned by local Lumber Baron's in the 1870s during the height of the lumber "gold rush" in Manistee, each room has a rare design of the original inlaid cherry, oak, maple, and walnut. A snippet of history on the original owner of this home: Salling, a native of Denmark, arrived in the United States in 1862 and found his way to Manistee. He worked for lumberman Michael Engelmann before going out on his own, eventually owning several sawmills and pine lands. While the Salling Home was built in 1874/1875, it underwent several changes between 1880 and 1899. In the final remodeling, the Victorian gingerbread was all removed, the home was made two stories throughout and an elegant entry was added along with a wrap-around porch. Among the most unique features found throughout the home is the beautiful hardwood flooring. A border, at the perimeter of each room, is made up of inlaid hardwoods, including cherry, maple, walnut, and oak. Salling passed away in 1909 and his family continued to reside in the house until 1916. https://www.visitmanisteecounty.com/web-2-0-directory/the-salling-home The house has been carefully restored to preserve its unique character and charm.
