Built by Marcus Sears and Katherine Johnston Bell in 1884, the Bell-Tierney Farmhouse was later owned by only one other family. Ed and Catherine (Kate) Hickey Tierney bought the farm in 1910, and Al Tierney was the last of the Tierney family to own it. The farmhouse, barn, and granary are listed on the National Register of Historic Places, and the land on which these buildings stand was donated by Dr. Victor and Bernice Doman. Bernice Doman was a sister of Kathryn McGrath Tierney, Al Tierney's wife. Marcus Bell was president of the Board of Trustees when New Richmond was incorporated in 1884, but he stepped down because his farm lay outside the city limits. The house is an outstanding example of Italianate architecture, and in 1982 the New Richmond Preservation Society, Inc. moved it from its original site west of the barn, near the present location of the AmericInn Motel.
