The previous owner of his home was Martin Lansing whom the street is named after. <br />Martin Lansing built his home, and though the exact date is unlcnown, there is an 1840's map <br />which shows the home built. Mr. Thomas said in 1858 the quarry area was part of Dover <br />Township and wasn't part of the village until 1909 or 1910. The architectural style of the Knight <br />home is Italianate, and constructed from sandstone. He then reviewed information found in the <br />1850, 1880, and 1910 Census pertaining to the Porter Road home. Mr. Schumann noted that the <br />Italianate style was not in the area until 1860. Board members believe that the home was built in <br />1860 as indicated on the carving over the door.
