This one of two "Pest House" that were originally on the property. The other was razed years ago.

The houses were in essence isolation rooms for those with communicable diseases, although those with differing diseases were often housed together.

The sign on the outside wall reads:

PEST HOUSE

One of two buildings used
to isolate residents with
infectious diseases. The
other no longer stands.
