William Brinton 1704 House |
||
|
(1704/1881/1950s) The Brintons were one of the earliest families to emigrate to Birmingham. This two story stone house was built by William Brinton the Younger; the serpentine wing was added in 1881. It was restored by architect G. Edwin Brumbaugh in the 1950s and is owned by the Brinton Family Association which operates it as a house museum today. The house is unique in that it is furnished according to the inventory of William Brinton, Jr., who died in 1751. At the time of the Battle, George Brinton was living in the house and filed a lengthy claim for damages. The Brinton 1704 House is one of the most important buildings remaining from the Battle period and was heavily involved in the aftermath of this event. |
