History
The house was built in 1868 for the tobacco merchant Francis Ronald.[3] It was sold to Thomas Brennan in 1885. One of Brennan's sons continued to live in the house until his death in 1963 and given to the Filson Club.[3]
The house was operated by the Filson Club as a house museum from 1969 until 1992, when a non-profit organization was created by the club to manage the house, as well as to help defray the costs of maintaining it.[4]
