Was this house really moved from Fairfield County’s Furman College?
City Directories and History: Locally, this cabin is known as the Brown cabin and part of the house remains on its original foundations. However, a secondary section was reported to have
been moved and attached to the original house which may have been used as part of the Furman Institute site. The newer section was “perhaps” a part of the old Furman Institute and added onto the Brown cabin but little evidence is available to support this theory. The survey card for this property states the cabin portion of the home was constructed by for for, Adam Hawthorne.
The cabin in 2013 is in poor condition, many of the massive logs have decayed so badly it can not be moved and preserved even though the local historical society has valiantly tried to see the site restored.
