TIDIOUTE

Samuel Grandin and his sons for a number of years were engaged in the lumbering business.  With the discovery of oil, the Grandins became the prominent  producers in the area.  Adna Neyhart and Samuel Grandin were partners in the oil production and transportation business and major suppliers of crude to Rockefeller’s Standard Oil of Ohio in the early to mid 1870's.  Adna Neyhart’s Italianate Residence on Main Street is pictured and discussed in the Style’s Section under Italianate.  The Tidioute Pipeline Company, a firm owned by Neyhart and Grandin, built an elaborate  Italianate commercial building in Tidioute.  That building is also pictured and discussed in the Styles Section under Italianate.
