The 'Bottle House' was said to be constructed using just two key components - cement and bottles which are rumored to have been collected from one of the town's establishments, 'The Whit's End' - a tavern known to have served many a thirsty resident a Pabst Beer or Miller, ergo its two-toned pattern. The structure still stands and in addition to being a quirky statement piece, it also serves as a handy storage shed as well.Numerous recent upgrades such as: Interior Paint, New roof, new back deck installed (2021) w/ Thermatru back door, Insulated piping, Stainless Steel Appliances.
