Inscription.
Brannon-Whelan House. The core of this large frame house is believed to have been built in 1879. Owner and local attorney William W. Brannon sold the home in 1901 which led to John and Maude McGuires acquisition of the property in that year. In 1908 the McGuires extensively remodeled the house achieving its present appearance in 1908-1909. In 1914. Thomas A. Whelan head of the Citizen's Bank, bought the property for "the sum of one dollar and other considerations." Whelan lived here until his death in 1926. Since then, the property has changed ownership several times and was used as a bed and breakfast. The current owners are Capt. John W. Bonnet, USN (ret) and Marsha Lynn Bronnent's.
