PREDMORE HOUSE This Carpenter Gothic-style house was built in 1879 for Joshua C.
Predmore (1837-1912). A Civil War veteran, Predmore was on guard duty at the
White House the night President Lincoln was assassinated. He was mustered out of
the service in 1868. Returning to Lake Orion, he became a merchant, running a
general store for forty years. Predmore held local offices from village
president to councilman and was township clerk at the time of his death. The
restored house features three original lattice archways and two oak fireplaces,
one in the front parlor and one in the living room.
