| The original section of the Brett House is at the back of the present structure. It was built in the early 1870s by John Brett (1851-1935), and was situated directly across the road from the present house. It was a very small house with an enclosed entry porch, a modest kitchen/sitting area with an adjoining pantry and a narrow stairway leading to small bedrooms upstairs. |
