Built in 1885 by Adam Leonard where he and his wife, Camilla Eugenia (Jean) Ward Leonard, and adopted daughter Eva lived. Adam used the spare rooms for drummers (traveling salesman). He also built the horse barns and neighboring house. From 1904 to 1946 Shady Grove Methodist Church utilized this home as a parsonage and later the home served as a Montessori Learning Center.
