Our History
The Victoria On Main was built in 1870 and was part of the J.W. Howard Estate. J.W. Howard came to Corry from Wellsville, New York to establish the JW & AP Howard Tannery. The Tannery was established in 1867, and eventually became known for selling some of the finest leathers in the country. Soon after the tannery was established, this stately home was commissioned and built by European contractors from Sweden, who were most likely Masons.
Following J.W. Howard's death on December 10th 1896, the estate was passed down to several members of the Howard family. The home was the sold to the Taggart family who were the last to own and operate the Tannery. In 1946, a large fire destoyed the Tannery and the property was split up. In 1961 Millie and Ralph Eastman purchased the home and raised their family on the beautiful land for 38 years. Millie's son Tim and wife Cathy Eastman began to carefully renovate the home from 1999 to 2020, bringing back the beautiful Victorian luster.
Today, owners Richard and Angela honor the history of the home as well as the town that welcomes people from far and wide. The Victoria On Main now offers guests the original charm and beauty of a historic bed and breakfast with the comfort and conveniences the modern day requires.
