City Directories and History: The Brownlee – Kennedy home is one of the oldest in Due West and began as a simple log dwelling.
(ca. 1800): Two-story, rectangular,weather boarded house with gable roof. Recessed,two-story porch is supported by six stuccoed pillars. Central single doorway has sidelights with a decorative surround and comer blocks. Second story has a central, single entrance doorway with sidelights opening on to a small cantilever balcony with a decorative railing, modeled after the “Lindsay style.” (See #52) This house is believed to have been extensively altered in the mid 1800s giving it the style that it has today.
