Historical Notes
EARLY OWNERS OF THE HOUSE WERE RHEDDY CUSACK AND MERCHANT/SADLER ANDREW RORBACK, WHO MAY HAVE BUILT IT. ITS THIRD OWNER, MATTHEW OTTLEY, IS BELIEVED TO HAVE GIVEN THE HOUSE MUCH OF ITS PRESENT APPEARANCE. IT IS NAMED FOR GRACE RUSSELL, A LATER OCCUPANT AND WIDOW OF THE FIRST MINISTER OF THE STAMFORD PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH
Architectural Notes
BUILT IN SEPARATE PHASES IN THE EARLY 19TH CENTURY , THE HOUSE EXHIBITS DIFFERING STYLES. THE FIRST PHASE (BEFORE 1830) HAD A STONE FOUNDATION AND FLOOR JOISTS/RAFTERS OF LOGS. IN THE SECOND PHASE (1830-35), LUMBER WAS USED TO BUILD THE NORTH SIDE GABLE AND THE VERANDAH WITH IT'S NOTABLE DIAMOND-PATTERNED STAMFORD TREILLAGE.
