Early Port Tobacco

[Laurie Verge]

This is what I always thought was Brawner's Hotel in Port Tobacco. I'm not going to check land records, but I suspect that Brawner's changed hands after the Civil War, maybe became the Compton House and then was replaced or enlarged into the St. Charles Hotel (which now resides about 15 to 20 miles away in the town of Hughesville). There is no Compton House now - only Stagg Hall and Chimney House. One of them was up for sale -- Stagg Hall, I think.
