William Prior house at 6229 Laird Road, Elbridge, has been somewhat remodeled, stripping it of much of its architectural interest. Prior was a farmer who also had an apple orchard and made cider and vinegar. He died in 1881. The property then went to his wife, Elita J. Prior. It was built circa 1852. Courtesy Richard Palmer.
