Don Carlos Buell
In 1866-1867, the house was purchased by Judge John S. Brien. When he died in 1867, the house was inherited by his widow, Rochie Howard Brien (1840-1930), who lived there until her death. She shared the house with her daughter Rochie, her son-in-law, Union Colonel George P. Buell, who was General Buell's cousin and became the owner of the house, and her grandson, Don Carlos Buell II. Buell hired architect George Norton to redesign the house in the Neoclassical architectural style circa 1910. Norton added poplar weatherboard, a front porch, and a grand staircase inside the house. Meanwhile, Don Carlos Buell II married Ruth Norton, the architect's sister, and they lived in the house until the 1950s.
