Inscription. The house at 208 E. Orchard Ave. sits on lot No. 5 of the Wright subdivision, the last addition to Floraville Hill in the late 1800s. It was built around 1882 in the imposing Second Empire style - often called the “high style” of the Victorian era. The first ones to own it, and its builders, were Mr. and Mrs. Elias Thompson.

In the late 1800s and all through the 20th century, the owners of this home make up a who's who of Lebanon history. There were businessmen like Bob Kaufman and John N. Oswald, Judge Milton Clark, Dr. Ed Blair and banker J.M. Hayner. For over 50 years, starting in 1968, it was the home of Joe and Winkie McKenzie.

Erected by Lebanon Rotary Club.
