Mill Worker's Cottage

One of three such structures built in the 1790s by town founder Richard Thomas to attract mill hands and other skilled workers to Brookeville, this cottage, like the Miller's Cottage across the street, is banked into the hillside to provide ground level access to the basement kitchen and access to the first floor from the top of the hill onto what was originally an open recessed porch. There was probably a mill worker living here in 1814.
