History

This house was constructed in 1858; newspaper reports indicate it was constructed for merchant Caleb Van Husan, although tax records indicate that Samuel D. Van Duzer was the original owner. In either case, Van Duzer was living in the house by the early 1860s, and remained living there for over 50 years. Samuel Van Duzer came to Saline in 1834 from New York state, when he was 14. He eventually went in to the dry goods business, but then spent most of his career as a clerk and bookkeeper. He also served on the village's board of trustees, and was twice elected president. [2]

Van Duzen lived in the house until his death in 1908. In 1912, the property was purchased by Mr. and Mrs. George Cook. Cook owned a livery business in Saline, and also served as president of the Village of Saline, as well as a Justice of the Peace. [3] The Cooks Cook did the stucco work which now covers the building. [2]

Description
