The log structure has since been
sided over. The wrap-around porch was added as a gift
from William Manney to his wife Anna. Dances were
often held in the big dining room. The homestead was
farmed, it went from 'Wood Orchard Market' to the
Eames Farm hill, down to the bay. It was gradually sold
off. Mrs. Rose Manney Wilson later owned the house,
she sold it in 1967. The Browning family now owns the
property.
