Mr. Long's father bought the place about 75 years ago. The ground on which the house is built was originally part of the lind on which the pioneer Munn, grandfather of Mrs. A. A, gar, settled. The house had been used as a Temperance Hall prior to Mr. Long's owner- ship was originally built for a house, Mrs. Biggar, who recently celebrated her 90th birthday, re- calls attending meetings of the Good Templars Lodge when she was about twelve years old. In a ary kept by the late Mr. Henry Post, Snider's Corners, (father of W. H. Post, Eighth Line) he writes of attending meetings at the Tempérance Hall at Munn's Corners, riding there on horse back.

Another feature of interest about the house is the kitchen which was originally a store built by the late Mr. and Mrs. Hiram Cline and which was placed in front of their house reaching out to the road line. The store has been part of the Long Home next door, for many years.
