Greenbrook Historical Society;
The Shotwell house was built in 1841 by Sidna and Edward Vail. When the two married, Sidna's father gave them part of his land to build a house. The "honeymoon cottage" was built flanked by the homes of their parents. Sidna and Edward celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary in this same house. Some time in the early 1890's Mr. and Mrs. Walter Shotwell moved into the house. They were relatives of the Vail family.
When the Vail Hat Shop, which was located across Greenbrook Road, was torn down, part of the building was moved across the road and incorporated into the back of the house. The addition provided a new kitchen on the first floor and two additional rooms on the second floor.
