Brookside Inn at Laurens

David Whipple became a permanent resident
of Laurens in 1865. He had been wharfage
collector on his uncle's pier in New York City
since 1849, and had frequently traveled from
his home in Laurens by stage coach to Albany,
and then by streamboat to the city. His wife
managed their large house during his absences
with the help of various neighbors, who were
hired for laundry, ironing, cleaning, and
gardening.

Today, Dave and Lori have beautifully
remodeled the entire house and made it into
the Brookside Inn at Laurens.
