Built in 1899, the Solomon Mier Manor has recently been renovated into a Bed & Breakfast.

Solomon Mier was one of the early Jewish immigrants from Germany who found that Noble County, Indiana contained an atmosphere of religious tolerance amidst the German Mennonites who had also settled in Noble County. He was one of the first members of the Jewish colony who arrived in Ligonier in 1854.

Solomon Mier operated a number of banks in Northeastern Indiana. He helped finance electric railways to connect area cities. In Ligonier, his Mier Carriage & Buggy Company built fancy carriages for the trade and later the "Runabout" automobile.

This newly purchased home is being maintained in keeping with the era in which it was built. This home is part of the Lincoln Highway, named after President Lincoln, which was originally the nation’s first coast to coast road. The home is located on the edge of Ligonier's downtown business area and is included in the Architectural Tour which contains the grandest collections of Victorian architecture to be seen. A large portion of the city was nominated to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978. The Solomon Mier Manor is just one of the examples of the area's outstanding architecture.
