National Historic Landmark-Terence Vincent Powderly House

This was the long-time home of Terence Vincent Powderly (1849-1924), who from 1879 to 1893 was the head of the Knights of Labor, an early national labor organization.

The Knights flourished under his leadership for a time but by 1890, its membership had declined.
