Notes
  • Significance: Part of a unique collection of buildings known as Browntown, reflecting the self-sufficient way of life practiced by several generations of the Brown family during the 19th and early 20th centuries. There are 11 remaining Browntown buildings, including the cotton gin building, three residences, a school, a tobacco barn, and several outbuildings. The gin building was designed to house the Brown's cotton gin and to provide for the transmission of horse-power to run the gin. The building is very significant in the field of engineering and represents an intelligent adaptation of traditional technology and materials to solve a complex problem.
