On the west side of Brown Avenue at the north end of the proposed district is the Thomas Brown Farm. All that remains of the farm complex is the house ("I"). This house is similar to the Dame farmhouse and also dates from the eighteenth century. It is better preserved, however, retaining its original massive brick central chimney. The steps at the entrances, fashioned from over-sized slabs of granite, are an interesting feature.
