Historical Context:    
In the mid 1800's, J.W. Stewart had a house built on the same property as "The Tannery," which was situated at the rear. The Tannery was sold to his brother-in-law, George Forbes who later sold it to Captain Hubley. The Tannery has later torn down but the house remains intact.
