The Brown family built their home in 1885 to the extreme right side of their lot (the lot extends from the driveway on the right to the hedges on the left) as they intended to add a second section later, as money allowed. There are no downstairs windows on the left side of the house to allow for this expansion. Mrs. Brown died before the additional work could be done. Today this house, the Brown-Cooper House, is affectionately known as the “Half House”.
