The Remsen Brown home, built of stone, was nearly destroyed, but some of the walls that remained standing were used in the rebuilding. Since we have no pictures of the house that burned, we cannot be sure what architectural changes may have been made.

In the extreme right of the photo, you can see the end of the Remsen Brown house, with the chimney bravely poking above the rubble of the village.

The Remsen Brown House as it appears today. It is still inhabited: Mr .and Mrs. Walter Hadley live there. Mrs. Hadley watches for school children every October when we walk the perimeter of the Great Carthage Fire.
