  • History of the Eugene W. Crane House by Gerald J
    History of the Eugene W. Crane House By Gerald J. Forthun, August 21, 1981 The Eugene W. Crane house stands at 322 E. Front Street, Adrian, Michigan. The house is situated on a parcel of land 115 feet square at the southwest corner of Front and Locust Streets. Information from the property abstract indicates that the lot on which the house is located was originally considerably larger, 220 x 135 feet, and that the southern portion of the lot was sold in 1893. This piece of property contained a large carriage house, which was thereafter converted to a residence, now identified as 229 North Locust. According to the property abstract, this parcel of land was part of an 80 acre piece of land deeded by the U.S. government to Addison J. Comstock, Lenawee County pioneer, on May 10, 1826. Mr. Comstock deeded approximately one acre of this land to Lenawee County in 1837, with the stipulation that the land be used for the construction of county public buildings. This piece of land, approximately 220 feet square, comprised one half of the block bounded by Front, Locust, Toledo and Clinton Streets. A courthouse was constructed on the southeast corner of Front and Clinton Streets, and a jail was built to the south of the courthouse. The courthouse lasted only a short span of years, burning to the ground in 1852. Some years later the jail was removed. Subsequently, the county sold the one acre parcel of land to Ezra T. Gilliland, on August 25, 1884. Robert Gilliland built a large house on the southeast corner of Front and Clinton Streets in 1885, and a short time later, on October 15, 1886, sold approximately 1/2 of the parcel of land to his son-in-law and daughter, Eugene and Agnes Crane.
