Additional Information: | Other buildings on the property consist of two plywood-sheathed sheds and a garage covered with drop siding. An 1895 plat indicates the presence of a cheese factory on this site, which was owned by John Dunn. By 1901, the property appears to have been owned by J. Benson, who possessed it until at least 1944. The current building is likely a ca. 1920's replacement of the original factory. |
