Henry Brash House (The Porches)

Henry Brash built this yellow pine house in 1865. The porches were added in 1890. Brash, a Confederate soldier, sponge fisherman and local merchant, and his wife Henrietta raised 11 children in this house. They kashered (ritually cleansed) their dishes in the Gulf of Mexico and held Passover seder dinners on the beach.
