What my family has told me she was built in the late 1800's, was a log cabin (we just had our bathroom redone and you can see the cabin beams within the walls.), she was a restaurant/lodge twice. I was told she is one of the first homes built in Brunswick. She has always been home to me I grew up here. This was my grandmother's home and is now owned by my mother. Built around 1871.
Fm Charlie Smith: This was Mrs. Himes restaurant in the 50's. My Aunt Lena Young worked there as a waitress. On the right hand side was the counter and the left side was the sitting area. There were also sitting tables on the right too. Great food. I went in there many times with my Daddy as a young kid.
