Description and history
editOriginally built about 1890 with Queen Anne styling, it was extensively altered and expanded in 1919 to designs by Witt, Seibert & Halsey, and is one of the city's finest Classical Revival buildings. W. C. Brown was one of the principal owners of the Bodcaw Lumber Company, based in Stamps. He moved his family here due to frequent occurrences of malaria in the Stamps area.[2]
The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on October 16, 1986.[1]
