Does anyone have any interesting information about the old Beaumont House?  I've been told that the house they tore down to build our new house used to be called the Beaumont House, and that it maybe was the original homestead office for Elk County?  For those of you who don't know, we live about 7 miles West of Howard on Limestone Rd.  Just about 1 mile West of Jim Perkin's.  When they tore down the house, they saved a few neat pieces of history from it.  I have made a couple shelves from some of the baseboard, and displayed some of the door jam corners on it (not sure what the word is for these decorative things).  I'm trying to come up with something creative for the porch pillars, too.  The rest of the door jam corners and baseboard were taken from us, and I don't know where they ended up.  I was going to make picture frames from them.
I'm not really a history buff, but I've heard that a ton of different people have lived in that house, so I'm curious as to the history of it.
