The Philo and Sophia Dunning House at 2212-2216 St Paul Av was reportedly built around 1849. This would make it one of the older structures on the east side. The barn-like addition was probably added in the 1910's? Philo Dunning and his son-in-law were prominent pharmacists, owning a long running store at 15 S. Pinkney St. When the railroad (now bike path) was laid through his yard in the 1878, the Dunnings moved into town. Their next house, 15 S. Butler (WAHI# 95264), did not fare so well. Capital Fitness now stands on that site.

Their 80 acre farm was called 'The Maples'.
