The JAMES MANSION, or "Dunmoor", was constructed circa 1866 for the William James family. This three story brick residence was later renovated to serve as the Women's Relief Corp Soldiers Home and opened for veteran's of the Civil War on November 1, 1896. The Building was demolished in 1966 to make way for the construction on the new laundry and garage buildings.
