Price Home
This 1889 Italianate-style house features a magnificent oak staircase with intricately carved balustrades, 14-foot ceilings, doors over nine feet tall and two massive cherry fireplaces. One 19th century owner couple
clashed over temperance. R.N. Williams was a druggist who dispensed alcohol while his wife, Alice, headed the Temperance Union. Temperance advocates passed a local option law prohibiting liquor sales while Williams
continued to fill prescriptions for medicinal brandy. The matter went to court and the druggist was fined $300. Since 1959 the home has belonged to Tom and Betty Price. Tom was an award-winning band instructor while
Betty became Cameron's first female mayor.
