"William Mott built the home at 570 Valley Road in the early 1830's. It is said to have been the fourth frame house built in Brooktondale and built in the 'Southern style' to please his wife, and then added the New England style widow's walk. This tradition may be more romance than truth, since Greek Revival houses like this were as popular in the North as in the south."
