William Nathan Lynch had a two-level barn where he kept cows and sold milk. A gazebo and fishpond were added about 1928 by his son William Henry Lynch. Gazebo was built from the old Birch barn and the horses' teeth-marks are still visible. Rear of the property was subdivided in 1983 for four townhouses, part of The Wrens. Extensive renovation, inside and out, has been carried out by the present owners, Mr. and Mrs. John R. Seline. [Sidenote: *84] _Mrs. Mary G. Sims._ Was located at 210 Little Falls St. between Park Ave. and W. Great Falls St. Now an office building across from the City Hall. [Sidenote: 85] _Mr. A.E. Rowell._ 923 W. Broad St. The Rowell House was also known as the "Old Brick House." Built in 1855 by George B. Ives, the Rowell family lived here for 62 years. Formerly had a barn with a harness room and a glass conservatory for flowers. Was an antique shop several years ago and the yard was also used for antique sales. While the house still stands, it has been renovated and surrounded by a townhouse complex known as Rowell Court, and bears no resemblance to the original structure. Owned by Mr. and Mrs. C.A. Rolander. [Sidenote: *86] _Dr. S.S. Luttrell._ Was at 155 E. Broad St., and later known as the Murphy House. It served as the last temporary City Hall in the 1950s.
