| Morris Davis Home |
| On the corner of Leishman and
Richmond Avenue is the Morris Davis home. It was
built by Morris Davis who played a big part in the
political history of Arnold. He served as a
councilman when the City of Arnold had it's
beginning. It seems he was very particular and
demanding. It is said he rejected many loads of wood
in the construction of the house if any of the wood
had knotholes or any other defects. It was one of
the first homes in Arnold to have electricity. |

| John Fedan Homestead |
| This was home to another important

erected a building to be rented out to other
merchants. When no one came to rent the office
space, he started a business for himself, starting
with a hardware store. He later added a furniture
and appliance store later.. |
