The "Isaac T. Mann" House was remodeled from a earlier house in 1909. The Issac Mann three-story turreted Bramwell mansion displays a handsome staircase, ornate woodwork and special details such as a secret wall safe and a studded, leather-walled den. The curved porch follows the horseshoe curve of the Bluestone River it overlooks. Across the river by footbridge, Mann built a house-size "playhouse" for his children and their governess. The house today is a private residence. HISTORIC MANN HOUSE BUNGALOW PLUS MORE |

BRAMWELL'S
OLDEST HOUSE:
According to relialble present sources the H.V. McNeer
house (VIEW BRAMWELL'S HISTORIC MCNEER HOUSE) is the oldest home in Bramwell. He bought it
from the Bluestone Land Corp in 1889 for $1400.00, when
lots were only selling for $300.00. The McGuffin
home was not built in 1885 as previously reported. The
center lot was not accuired until November 1887 for
$300.00. It is doubted that the home was completed
until 1890. The written source is the mercer county court
records. Thus,
these recently noted court records show that the Historic Dr. R. M.
McGuffin House was incorrectly reported to be the oldest
frame house in Bramwell. Some less reliable writings have
reported it to be the oldest house on Bramwell.s Main
Street. This house boasted the first indoor plumbing in
town and had a free standing shower. It even had a
windmill to help supply water, and there was a speaking
tube from the front door to the bedroom.
