History
Pinedale's first schoolhouse was moved by Mr. L. H. Hennick to the corner of Magnolia Street and Maybel Avenue, and used as a residence. This first schoolhouse is now the dining room and kitchen in the Chambers House Bed and Breakfast. Mr. Hennick added two rooms to the house and rented it until the ownership transferred to his daughter, Angeline, and son-in-law, Mr. C. C. Feltner. Mr. Feltner added a garage to the north of the house, and an extension south of the original schoolhouse, creating most of the house as it stands today. The south extension was built in 1933, the depths of the Great Depression. Mr. Feltner took advantage of local building materials, creating much of the home's charm. From the local forest he pulled the logs which still encase the entire home, and river rock from Pine Creek were used in the fireplaces. The local blacksmith's hand-made window handles are located throughout the house and in some of the light fixtures.
