Originally the residence of the Brownfield family and site of Brownfield Academy, a boarding school advertised in 1893 as "particularly desirable for Northern young ladies with impaired heath who would probably be successful in their studies in this healthy climate." The congregation of what is now St. John's Catholic Church held services in a chapel on the premises.
