==History==
George Hitchcock was born in Watertown, Connecticut in 1825. In 1851, he married Martha Hall, daughter of a prominent Detroit family. Hitchcock worked on the railroad for a number of years, and in 1857 moved to Owosso, Michigan and opened a drugstore.〔 He later moved to Isabella County, and in 1870 went into business with his brother-in-law Edmund Hall. In 1871, the Hitchcocks moved to and founded the village of Farwell as part of Hitchcock and Hall's logging operations in Clare County.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title= Hitchcock, George and Martha, House )〕 They established the Farwell City Company, which owned the town, and Farwell became manager of the company. Hitchcock also acted as the city's first postmaster and Clare County's first treasurer, and established mills in the area.〔
After living in the area for some time, George Hitchcock and his wife Martha hired the Detroit firm of Mason & Rice to design this house; construction was completed in 1885.〔 George Hitchcock died in 1889.〔 The house is still privately owned.
