History: Horace Holbrook was a local carpenter and shipbuilder who built this house in 1895. One of the board and batten outbuildings on the site was used by Holbrook as a boat building shop. Additions were made to the structure over the next few years with a second floor added over the kitchen area. Few changes have been made to the structure with the exception of modernization of the interior.
