Dating back to the Revolutionary War, Captain Daniel Bray acquired the land, which was then passed onto his son Anderson Bray, eventually coming to the hands of naval engineer Charles Lenfast, who, in WWII is said to have used the Foundry Building to make submarine hatches. The above apartment was used as a lookout for spies, and is thus now called the Lookout Apartment.
