106 East Mitchell Street

Commonly misidentified as Dr. Williams House, the yellow house at the entrance to Petoskey was probably built in late 1880, although it does not appear on the 1880 Birdseye Map. The lot was sold by Ignatius and Mary Ann Petoskey to O.N. Watson in 1878 for $160. Watson's residence is listed as "foot of Mitchell" in the 1882 guide, which could be this house.
