The late Tom Brown always suspected that the house he used as an office on West Fourth Terrace was hiding a log cabin underneath it’s “modern” interior and that’s exactly what crews found when they began deconstructing the house on Tuesday. While the house had been expanded over the years, the original main log structure can easily be seen. Brown, a well-known historian and long-time instructor at North Central Missouri College who died in 2018, had said the structure was the first log house constructed in Trenton. Phyllis Jackson, speaking on behalf of the Brown family, said the house will now be stabilized and she will be in contact with the Missouri State Historical Society to determine what the next step will be to attempt to preserve the historic house.
