History

Nestled atop what was once a lone hilltop on Cincinnati Street, this Italianate home was completed in 1882 at the order of notable entrepreneur Emerson P. Knight. This house once sat on a sizable plot of land on the outskirts of the blossoming Lafayette of the time. As a successful grain dealer who later worked supplying materials for telephone construction, Emerson didn’t stay in Lafayette, but we’re glad he made his mark on the city before returning to New York City.

In 1895, the home was purchased by Solomon and Carrie Loeb, who lived here happily for over 50 years. They raised 3 sons in the home: Milton, Sam, and Bert, and the family thrived as notable people in the Lafayette area. Solomon and his brother Julius opened a successful department store, later run by Sam, which became a landmark in the community as well as many other stores in the wider region. Milton became the founder and president of the Purex corporation. There are plenty of other landmarks in the Lafayette area that bear the Loeb name in honor of this notable family.

The house was sold to local lodge owners, who converted it into apartments upon Carrie Loeb’s death in 1950. The structure and décor have undergone various changes over the years, but the home has since been restored to recapture the grandeur of its former glory, providing a luxurious inn for us all to enjoy!
