The former carriage building sits behind the Charles W. Liken House Museum built
in the late 1880's by John C. Liken for his son C.W. Liken and family. They moved to California
in 1939 and a variety of tenants have lived their since.

In 2006 the home became available just ahead of the wrecking ball. The Sebewaing Area Historical Society
took on the restoration of the home. The woodwork, light fixtures, and  hardwood floors are original
and in great condition.

The Mariner's Compass was selected because it depicts the journey on the seas from Germany
to the United States of America by John C. Liken, an early pioneer entrepreneur of Sebewaing.
