| Daniel Cough (1840-1906) Daniel Cough's house - "The Della & Wills Dow House (Daniel Cough Homestead), Bernard circa 1868 - Daniel Cough, who was originally from China, built this lovely home on property purchased in 1868 from Dorcas Booth. Cough operated a store next door. The exterior of the house is basically unchanged, other than the addition of the door and porch on the north side, and the replacement of windows and siding. The interior has been renovated, replacing the pantry with a laundry and bathroom. In 1908, the original property was split between Ezra Cough and A. Bird Cough. Tax records reveal tha in 1912 Ezra R. Cough sold the house to Harold L. Holmes. The Dows acquired the house in 1952." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 10 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough's store - "The Rosemary & Robert Tilden House, Bernard circa 1878 - It would appear that the current house at one time was a store. It was occupied by Daniel Cough, then called "Old China." The original building may have been constructed as early as 1873. Cough heirs include Ezra R. Cough and A. Bird Cough. Other names on deeds include Omar W. Tapley, Mary Ethel Mitchell, George L. and Katherine M. Higgins, Kenneth Eugene Sawyer and Clifford S. and Rosemary W. Stillwell. According to the present owners [the Tildens], the house seems to have been "thrown together" using any scraps and spare lumber available. During renovation, the Tildens found a mail slot, a snack counter, remnats of Mitchell's ice cream shop and a horse whip." - “The Historic Homes of the Town of Tremont…A perspective in Time,” p. 23 - Published by the Tremont Historical Society, July 1998. Daniel Cough was also called "John Chiney" or John Chinaman. He is said to have opened his store in the 1860s. |

| John Melbourne Rich took the design for his new house in Tremont from Design 24 in the 1888 version of Palliser's "New Cottage Homes and Details." The Pallisers had moved to New York by this time and advertised themselves as Palliser, Palliser & Co., Architects, 24 East 42nd Street, Second Block West of Grand Central Depot, New York. They offered to "Prepare Designs, Drawings and Specifications for Every Description of Buildings for Erection in any part of the World. Also give special attention to the Remodeling of Existing Structures and the designing of FURNITURE, INTERIOR DECORATIONS AND MONUMENTS - Consultations on all matters pertaining to Building, Drainage, Sanitary Works, Ventilation, Machinery, Valuations, Etc., Etc. The Pallisers showed two versions of Design 24. One, a modest house without a tower, and one, a showpiece with tower that could be built for a "cost of $1,700." For this amount one received, "plans, elevations, details and perspective view of a comfortable, convenient cottage home of six rooms, with tower which is designed to command a view of the surrounding country where erected." John Melbourne Rich chose the showy tower version with which to command a view of Tremont. He probably did not pay $1,700 for the plans, being an experienced builder, perfectly capable of building what he wanted by looking at the plans in the prospectus. John Melbourne Rich built his house in 1896. |

|
| The house was built by John "Talking John" Melbourne Rich, the first of his three houses. John owed his Uncle Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) a sum of money, so he swapped this Tremont house for Jonathan's older less valuable Richtown house. Emily (Rich) Trask (1884-1981), John Melbourne Rich's daughter, said in a 1975 interview that she was born in the house, "in that back bedroom up there… That was a big place. It was different from these days…it had a piazza clean around it and round the front. Father was great on building big places but he got in debt so much that he had to give up and go over to Richville [Richtown] and live." The main house, minus barn and ell, still exists in 2016, although covered in green asbestos shingles. The house was originally painted a cream color with brown trim. It sits back from the road just before the Tremont Congregational Church. The people in the photograph left to right: Jonathan Rich (1836-1907) Roseanna B.
