 = Old Coscob House.
 On the west side. near the bridge, at Coscob, stands one of the oldest houses in the State. It was built long before the revolutionary war. Its history can be traced back for 1eO years, and it must be at least 200 years old. It IS now owned by the family or Joseph Brush. On the west side of the house may still be seen the place where the door used to enter the bar-room. for this used to be known as one of the old New York and Boston inns. On this same side you can see where the kitchen was built out from the house and used to extend to where the store now stands. Over the top of this kitchen slaves had their quarters. Here you find an old stone chimney, twelve or fifteen feet wide, with it's huge fire- places into which logs of wood were rolled. On the east side of the house can be seen shingles that have been on the house ever since it was built. They are about three feet long, and handmade. All the nails used in the shingles and many of the boards are of handmade wrought iron. The two front rooms up stairs were in earlier days divided by a moving wall which could be raised and fastened, turning the rooms into one and forming 8 ball. room.
