Henry Guest House. . The Henry Guest House is the second oldest structure in New Brunswick. In 1760, Alderman Henry Guest, a tanner, constructed this sturdy home of native stone near the bank of Lyell's Brook at what later became the corner of Livingston Avenue and New Street. Guest lived in the home until his death in 1815. His name and the date "1760" are still visible in a brick above the front porch. In 1925, this sandstone house was entrusted to the New Brunswick Free Public Library and relocated to its present site to make room for the construction of the BPO Elks Lodge 324.
