The 'Gunn' Cottage - 1887

Levi and Esther Gunn built this cottage in 1887.  Esther died in 1897, and Levi married Esther's niece, Catherine 'Alice' Graves.  Alice Gunn gifted the cottage to her half-sister Linda Graves before her death, and Linda willed the cottage to the Barkers in the mid-1950s.
