This distinct Barn-style home was built in 1894. The design features a gambrel roof – the distinguishing feature of this architectural style. The roof is trimmed with wide eaves, and gable and shed dormers. The exterior is adorned with a decorative brick belt and a decorative shingle belt. The enclosed porch offers windows with transom lights.
The home originally belonged to Robert Honeyman, who worked as a farmer. The Honeyman family lived at the address until 1909. During their time in the home, Mrs. Honeyman became known as somewhat of a local hero. In October of 1902, a group of boys was playing on the property when one boy, Johnny Scott, climbed onto the roof of the Honeymans’ shed. His friends dared him to jump off but, when he did, Johnny landed on the thin well covering, falling down into the well. The well was 24 feet deep, with ten feet of water at the bottom. The boys called Mrs. Honeyman for help before running to the fire station. Rather than wait for help to arrive, Mrs. Honeyman climbed into the well using the crossbars, descending deep enough for her to toss a rope down to the boy. When the firemen arrived, Mrs. Honeyman was holding Johnny Scott by the rope to keep him from drowning. The firemen stated in the Brandon Daily Sun that, had it not been for Mrs. Honeyman’s bravery, the boy may not have survived.
