Charles Nash
 This
Queen Anne style house built circa 1890, was owned by automotive
pioneer Charles W. Nash (1864-1948). Born in Illinois, Nash worked
on area farms before forming a successful hay processing firm,
"Adams and Nash," in 1882. He was hired by the Flint Road Cart
Company as a cushion stuffer at $1.00 a day in 1890. He later became
general-manager and vice president of the Durant-Dort Carriage
Company, general-manager of the Buick Motors Company (1910) and
president of Buick and the General Motors Corporation (1912). In
1916 he formed the Nash Motor Company.
