The Slade House
Located in the historic Franklin Village, we are fortunate enough to call this historic gem our home.
A Brief History
Dr. Julian Buel, the son of Franklin resident Dr. H.S. Buel, built this house in the early Greek Revival style around 1860 after graduating with a medical degree from the University of Michigan. He married Malintha Durkee, the daughter of one of the earliest settlers in the state, Stephen Durkee.
Dr. Julian and Malintha Buel had one daughter, named Katherine “Kitty” who married lawyer, Sam Ira Slade. Their son, Samuel Buel Slade, invented the dry roasted peanut in the building, located behind the house in the 1940s or 1950s.
