Located at 9429 Montgomery Road

This house is part of the early residential neighborhood of this village. The house is a simple front-gable townhouse built for N.S. Johnson. In 1874, N.S. Johnson purchased a house on this property for his father's tailor shop. It is thought that the original house was torn down in 1890 and replaced with the present structure. The house was purchased by the Murdough family in 1951. Shirley Murdough was a descendant of Cornelius Snider, a founder of Montgomery. The house sold in 1973 and has been occupied by retail shops since then. In 1993 it was deeded to the City of Montgomery.
